“You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn't lose a man. They all made the switch.

“Let no one imagine that he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to his God. He does not by this degrade himself as a man; rather he finds his right place of high honor as one made in the image of his Creator. His deep disgrace lay in his moral derangement, his unnatural usurpation of the place of God. His honor will be proved by restoring again that stolen throne. In exalting God over all, he finds his own highest honor upheld.” MenHumansDoeMadeLosesMoralImagineHonorHighestDignitySellsLaysCreatorImagine ThatThronesStolenDiscipleshipDisgraceRight PlaceUnnaturalHuman DignityDegradeRestoringUsurpation Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“Every light has a point where it is brightest and a point toward which it wanders to lose itself completely. It must be intercepted to fulfill its mission; it cannot function in a void. Light can go straight, penetrate and turn back, be reflected and deflected, gathered and spread, bent as by a soap bubble, made to sparkle and be blocked. Where it is no more is blackness, and where it begins is the core of its brightness. The journey of rays from that central core to the outposts of blackness is the adventure and drama of light.” MadeLightTurnsLosesJourneyAdventureDramaFunctionSpreadMissionsCoreWanderRaysVoidBubblesBentPenetrateSoapBrightnessBlacknessSparkleBlockedSoap Bubbles Book:Fun in a Chinese Laundry Source: Fun in a Chinese Laundry

“I hate symbolic art in which the presentation loses all spontaneous movement in order to become a machine, an allegory -- a vain and misconceived effort because the very fact of giving an allegorical sense to a presentation clearly shows that we have to do with a fable which by itself has no truth either fantastic or direct; it was made for the demonstration of some moral truth.” GivingArtMadeFactsShowsHateOrderLosesEffortMoralMovementDirectMachinesI HateFantasticVainSpontaneousPresentationDemonstrationSymbolicFablesAllegory Author:Luigi Pirandello
