"You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better; it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting."

To do well those thing which God ordained to be the common lot of all man-kind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or a successful statesman... We should never be discouraged in those daily tasks which God has ordained to the common lot of man... Let us not be trying to substitute an artificial life for the true one.

— Joseph Fielding Smith
