An actor is a sculptor who carves in snow.
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. . . When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.
It does not matter whether one paints a picture, writes a poem, or carves a statue - simplicity is the mark of a master-hand.
Our pain carves out a larger space for love to fill.
