3. "An artist is not special. An artist is
an ordinary person who can take
ordinary things and make them
special. An artist looks at a juice
bottle, an egg car ton or a
newspaper and sees something
valuable in them.”
Ruth Asawa

4. “No work of art is more important than
the Christian’s own life, and every
Christian is called upon to be an artist in
this sense. He may have no gift of
writing, no gift of composing or singing,
but each man has the gift of creativity in
terms of the way he lives his life. In this
sense, the Christian’s life is to be an art
work.The Christian’s Life is to be a thing
of beauty in the midst of a lost and
despairing world.”
