“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
“It is not for the gods to decide whether or not Man exists - it is for Man to decide whether or not the gods exist.”
“For a man who walks in the light, to stay humble is not to walk in the dark; you don't need to project yourself to be thought an honest man.”
“Artistic temperament sometimes seems a battleground, a dark angel of destruction and a bright angel of creativity wrestling.”
“It often turns out on closer inspection that acts of apparent altruism are really selfishness in disguise.”
“…The Lord through His grace appeared to man, gave him the Gospel or eternal plan whereby he might rise above the carnal and selfish things of life and obtain spiritual perfection. But he must rise by his own efforts and he must walk by faith.”
