The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.

It is a dangerous world -- things that happen far away hit our doorstep, and affect our lives . And I think for people of faith to continue and try to walk in that faith, and be loyal to that faith is important.

Most astronomical work has to do with things that are very, very far away and don't affect our lives very much.

I always found the concept of a tortured artist distasteful.

He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.

One of the marvelous things about Churchill is that whatever he was doing, whether fighting or arguing or despairing or bouncing about full of energy, jokes are never far away.
