Any person or thing of significance to you unconsciously plays a role in mirroring your own internal universe, just as you do theirs.

The world outside is a strange, but relentless mirror.

We need freedom, not through suffering, but through wisdom.

Both positive and negative thinking are contagious.

All in all. You have been. Redeemer. Pain Steeler. My best friend. Please hold my hand.

I love life. I love the live theater.

What can I say about the First World War, a war in which I served as an infantryman, a war I hated at the start and to which I never warmed as it proceeded?

Peace is the alternative to war, and nonviolence should be seen as the antidote to violence, not simply as its opposite. Nonviolence is more concerned with saving life than with saving face.

I always had this non-stop drive. I had to keep sending stories out and every once in awhile I'd get something accepted or get the little trickle of positive feedback.

A guy's gotta live, you know, gotta make his way and find his meaning in life and love, and to do that he needs coffee, he needs coffee and coffee and coffee.

God is not the author of confusion but is the author of peace.

In those places of doubt and even darkness I've realized that who I am has nothing to do with wins or losses, applause, or negative criticism. It has to do with whose I am.
