The great God endows His children variously. To some he gives intellect -- and they move the earth. To some he allots heart -- and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs.

Robert Plant

We are all worms, But I do believe that I am a glow worm.

Winston Churchill

I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.
