"How did I come to be an artist ? Endless curiosity, observation, research - and a great amount of joy in the thing"

Previous Quote

God, we are told, is willing to render himself inconsistent and ridiculous, to confound the curiosity of those whom, we are at the same time informed, he desires to enlighten by his special grace. What must we think of a revelation which, far from teaching us any thing, is calculated to darken and puzzle the clearest ideas?
