4. "I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole
design and shape I do not know.
Nevertheless, with what I have I can
reflect light into the dark places of this
world as well as into black places in the
hearts of men and change some things in
some people. Perhaps others may see and
do likewise.”

the meaning of life.”

being transformed into his likeness with
