Clouds symbolize the veils that shroud God
According to French novelist and playwright Honore de Balzac (20 May 1799 – 18 August 1850), clouds symbolize the veils that shroud God. Indeed, clouds inspire artists and photographers, poets and writers to think about eternity, life and existence. Here is a set of beautiful images and quotes about clouds.

When you’re obsessive, … it’s like falling through the air and grabbing at the clouds. Jonny Wilkinson
