Hamburger steak is carrion, and quite unfit for food except by a turkey buzzard, a hyena, or some other scavenger.

I am, I think the only surviving member of the original Battle Creek church. The church was disbanded, with the exception of thirteen members, in 1870.

A dead cow or sheep lying in a pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of a carcass dressed and hung up in a butcher's stall passes as food.

Disease is cured by the body itself, not by doctors or remedies.

I believe the Sabbath; I keep the Sabbath.

When we eat vegetarian foods, we needn't worry about what kind of disease our food died from; this makes a joyful meal!

The power in which we must have faith if we would be well, is the creative and curative power which exists in every living thing.

The influence of coffee in stimulating the genital organs is notorious.

I think getting drunk is the key to flying comfortably. A couple of bloody marys or several glasses of champagne, and suddenly it's like you're on a roller coaster.

The outpouring of support from health professionals who want to volunteer for Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts has been tremendous.

We are not our parents, Gabriel. We do not have to carry the burden of their choices or their sins.

If you'd just try, I'm sure you'd be able to fly.

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.

I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.

I was terrible at straight items. When I wrote obituaries, my mother said the only thing I ever got them to do was die in alphabetical order.

There are really only two positions one can take toward anything in life: hope or fear. Hope strengthens, fear kills.

Whatever behavior you've experienced from people in the past, expect them to do it again and again and again.

When we edit the music, I always remember, "It's my band. Save me a place to play."
