“You cannot help but learn more as you take the world into your hands.
Take it up reverently, for it is an old piece of clay, with millions of thumbprints on it.”
John Updike
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?”
