"Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism."

-- Isaac Asimov

May each painting you do from that sacred place include an expression of gratitude for the extraordinary privilege of being an artist.”
