... Nothing Resembles Reality Less Than The Photograph. Nothing Resembles Substance Less Than Its Shadow. To Convey The Meaning Of Something Substantial You Have To Use Not A Shadow But A Sign, Not The Limitation But The Image. The Image Is A New And Different Reality, And Of Course It Does Not Convey An Impression Of Some Object, But The Mind Of The Subject; And That Is Something Else Again.

God Himself Begins To Live In Me Not Only As My Creator But As My Other And True Self.

Every Moment And Every Event Of Every Man's Life On Earth Plants Something In His Soul.
