?To resound like a struck chord, to create, order, to arrange. To give beauty to those who yearn for beauty, to talk away sorrow, to be a witness to our times. We are chroniclers of our time. If we can only contribute a little, a tiny part, to the great work, if we can only be a red blood cell in the great circulatory system, we have done something.?
