The most attractive characteristic in a person is the story they are telling the world. We stop and stare at stories.

Great stories move through fear.

I always thought the Bible was more of a salad thing, you know, but it isn't. It's a chocolate thing.

People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.

Meaningful stories have lots and lots of conflict. If we avoid conflict, our stories won't be meaningful.

The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.

It comforts me to think that if we are created beings, the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality, and so it would seem to us, looking out from within our reality that it would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality, or it would not be reasonable.
