As far as I understand, the Second Coming is already here. It's a consciousness. It is not someone who is going to arrive and land in a clearing in the forest. The Hell that they talk of is going to be people creating their own unhappiness, a Hell on Earth.

I was raised on pop music. Anything classical ran together in a complicated blur.

Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that's what they do in 'Harry Potter': The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they've been near the Dementors!

I think judgment is from within. It's not a God judging. Someone who is nasty - they're the one who has to sleep at night.

I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter.

Ultimately you understand there is order in the universe, even if there is no order in your immediate circumstances.

It takes forever if you go by inertia.
