When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

Man has an incurable habit of not fulfilling the prophecies of his fellow men.

Hee that is in a Taverne thinkes he is in a vine-garden.
