“The fact that our task is exactly commensurate with our life gives it the appearance of being infinite.”

“…Perhaps this momentary life of ours is only the light that divides our infinite origin from our infinite end. ”

“Our task is to take this earth so deeply and wholly into ourselves that it will resurrect within our being.”

“Let us remember, too, that greatness is not always a matter of the scale of one’s life, but of the quality of one’s life. True greatness is not always tied to the scope of our tasks, but to the quality of how we carry out our tasks whatever they are. In that attitude, let us give our time, ourselves, and our talents to the things that really matter now, things which will still matter a thousand years from now.”

“The task that remains is to cope with our interdependence - to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences.”

“We work in the dark—we do what we can—we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”
