We don't want to think about our weaknesses. We don't want to talk about them, and we certainly don't want anyone else to point them out. This is a classic sign of mediocrity, and this mediocrity has a firm grip on the Church and humanity at this moment in history.

Benjamin Cardozo

A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's.

Princess Diana

Mason Cooley

And in a picture I want to say something comforting, as music is comforting.

Vincent Van Gogh
