I think the world is an interesting place and I don't think anybody has the firm and final answer to what it is but I kind of assume there's a purpose.

...I felt fear enter the halls of my mind, but I didn't give it the keys to every room.

I just became fascinated with how complex and unlikely the universe is and life is and Catholicism gives me an answer to that.

There's still a fascination with somebody who can write at book length, no matter what the book is.

Those who wish to punish the current and future generations for the inequities of a generation long gone, and who equate justice with revenge, are the most dangerous people in the world.

Books were this wonderful escape for me because I could open a book and disappear into it, and that was the only way out of that house when I was a kid.

Only time conquers time and its burdens.
