The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream. Ansel Adams
It is as impossible for man to demonstrate the existence of God as it would be for even Sherlock Holmes to demonstrate the existence of Arthur Conan Doyle. Frederick Buechner
It would be as impossible for me to attack Christianity as it would be impossible for me to attack werewolves. Georg Brandes
