“The world is a staircase," hissed the accordion maker in the darkness. "Some go up and some come down. We must ascend.”

“We are all on the stairs, my friend; some of us are going down, some us are going up!”

“The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.”

“And that is precisely what Christianity is about. This world is like a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumour going around that some of us are some day going to come to life.”

“Some knowledge comes to us like a seed.... Then, we have to bury it and leave it alone in the dark. When it's time, it comes up again and grows.”

“Many say "What goes up must come down." I believe this was spoken by a pessimist. I believe it is vitally important to remember that "What goes up...must have started some place." #workhard”
