• To me, form doesn't always follow function. Form has a life of its own, and at times, it may be the motivating force in design.

• I often saw weary little women coming to the table after most exhausting labors, and large, bumptious husbands spreading out their hands and thanking the Lord for the meals that the dear women had prepared, as if the whole came down like manna from heaven. So I preached a sermon in the blessing I gave.

For humanity's sake, Amen.
