“I have no wish to be remembered as a painter, for I never was a painter; my idea of that profession was perhaps too exalted; I may say, is too exalted. I leave it to others more worthy to fill the niches of art.” MayArtIdeasWishWorthyProfessionPainterRememberedNicheExalted Author:Samuel Morse
“When we begin to reflect Christ, the Bible, when more understood as being centered around Christ, seems to be potentially every man's biography regarding God's promised experiences and truth for him - his individual, unique path of humbling oneself before the Lord and then being exalted by the Lord back into his true and righteous personhood. Many followers may speak of it merely to try to change other people (before changing themselves), but the prophets speak of it as a living word which miraculously tells their very own experiences.” PeopleMenTryingMaySeemsIndividualSpeakChristLordPathUniqueUnderstoodOneselfEvery ManProphetFollowersRighteousBiographiesExaltedHumblingPersonhoodHumbling Experiences Author:Criss Jami
“No one knows how greatness comes to a man. It may lie in his blackness, sleeping, or it may lance into him like those driven fiery particles from outer space.
