I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

I still am a geek, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I see no shame in having an unhealthy obsession with something.

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.

Trust in the Lord brings much hope, joy and peace.

Friendship is communion.

You understand my music.

Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.

The local TV news is the greatest danger in your life. It's all crap.
