William Saroyan
For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4.17-18
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar, familiar things new.
William Makepeace Thackeray
A fine artist is one who makes familiar things new and new things familiar.
Louis Nizer

Giordano Bruno
