“It was eerie how casually people donned the level of polish the Papers offered. Where others fawned over the results of Paper-made glamours, that level of calculated, pristine perfection made Sofi uncomfortable. Humans were messy and complex. It pained her that magic disguised that potential for failure with a fleeting sense of flawlessness.”

“Are you saying that truth, goodness, and beauty are to be found in books? But they are from God - aren't they to be found in the Mass? In the Eucharist? Yes, the Mass and the Eucharist are where God allows us to touch those transcendentals, indeed to touch and consume Himself, but in books - in music, in art, in the life well-lived - when we have an earnest desire to know and to love the human person, that is where we give those gifts back to God.”

“Making art provides uncomfortably accurate feedback about the gap that inevitably exists between what you intended to do, and what you did. In fact, if artmaking did not tell you (the maker) so enormously about yourself, then making art that matters to you would be impossible. To all viewers but yourself, what matter is the product: the experience of shaping that artwork. The viewers' concerns are not your concerns (although it's dangerously easy to adopt their attitudes.) Their job is whatever it is: to be moved by art, to be entertained by it, to make a killing off it, whatever. Your job is to learn to work on your work.”
