Perhaps we humans are still in command, and perhaps there really will be a conventional robot war in the not-so-distant future. If so, let's roll.

The villain is the person who knows the most but cares the least.

Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.

The essays are very solipsistic and self-absorbed, I'm totally conscious of that. To me, book writing is fun, and I basically just write about things that are entertaining to myself.

Anybody who says they are a good liar obviously is not, because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist they're honest about everything.

A mortal person's mind is like a wilderness, with a tremendous volume of decaying constructs and half-understood experience forming natural harbors for wild animal effects.

Every mom believes her kid's school doodles are amazing, and I'm no different.

There's no such thing as quitting. Just sometimes there's a longer pause between relapses.

When you're born again, your DNA changes. You have the ability to understand God's terms.

People see a big dude and they hear that high pitched voice or "Eglasias with an 'I'" and love it because they can relate and go "I know that person!".

A novel is like a sausage. You might like the final taste but you don't want to see how it was made.

The trouble with born-again Christians is that they are an even bigger pain the second time around.

If you feel strongly about people having abortions, don't have one.
