Summary

This quote is describing someone who maintains a deep connection with spirituality and prayer, even while engaging in everyday conversation. It suggests that this person's innermost being constantly rests and finds solace in something beyond the visible realm. This implies a profound sense of faith and devotion, where prayer becomes an intrinsic part of their thoughts and actions. Despite being engaged in the physical world, their soul remains anchored and connected to an unseen, spiritual support that nourishes and uplifts them.

To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day while being aware that fundamentally this has no more importance than building for centuries- this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions.

It is not merely the likeness which is precious... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever!

My grandmother had six kids - one died as an infant - and she was dirt-poor, and all her kids got an education. And my mom grew up poor. And they both worked so hard and cultivated so much of their own happiness. I wanted to have that like an amulet. Not like armor, but like a magic feather. Like Dumbo's magic feather.

No, it's interesting to remake a film for the contemporary audience today. I think it's a good idea it needs to respect the original idea. Don't just take the title and change everything else.
