Subjective artists are one-eyed, but objective artists are blind.

My only objective is to paint a Christ so moving that those who see him will be converted.

For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.

The conscience of an artist worthy of the name is like an incurable disease which causes him endless torment but occasionally fills him with silent joy.

World-building is my favorite pastime, so with me, I'm always about reining myself in. I don't want to lose too much of the mystery by hammering every detail to death. I did fiddle with lots of maps for 'Glass Sword,' as the second installment sees Mare, Cal and company traveling throughout their country, and that's always fun for me.

The very first thing you learn if you're a gentleman is that you never compare one woman to another. That's the way of all death.

Inactivity is death.

Bitterness and unforgiveness block the flow of God's blessing in your life and actually hinder your prayers.
