"And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust."
-- T. S. Eliot, "The Wasteland"

"For creation is not just the creation of things. Creativity is a state of mind, which sometimes expresses itself in small and otherwise insignificant ways. Great or small, it is precious, and it is the only thing that finally converts life to meaning."
--Richard Taylor, "The Meaning of Human Existence"
