When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it – a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand – as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If theres a clash between the two, its bad art. – Marc Chagall
In places where marriages core meaning has been altered through legal action, officials are beginning to target for punishment those believers and churches that refuse to adapt. – Salvatore J. Cordileone
April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory out of desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in a forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. – TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot
