Music can be so manipulating - especially in terms of horror. It's such an important part of building the tension.

Hell is a swamp, to me - not as something fiery, but as something dank, moist, and wet.

I think it's cool to give people encouragement.

I didn't really know why I wanted to go to college. I didn't really have a reason to go there other than the fact that everybody else was doing it.

Life's extremities can bring God's proximity.

Flaky devotionalism, bowing and scraping and sucking up to the teacher is very phony. It is counterproductive to enlightenment and spiritual development. What is necessary is mutual respect.

Joys are our wings, sorrows our spurs.

The size of a person is more important than the size of the problem.

life without love, is no life at all

I find that men are far more vain than women.
