Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.

Misha's importance and distinctiveness are beginning to be noticed, there's beginning to be some kind of rip-tide here that will soon become a wave of recognition for a book that the world is beginning to catch up to... We weren't ready before. We'd better be ready now. Because it's the 21st century, any minute now, and that means that Misha's time has come. In more ways than one.

Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.

I do sometimes watch 'Dr. Who' and while the stories barely make sense, if at all, the doctor is such great company I don't care.

I'm disturbed when people let superstition, magical thinking, extreme conspiracy theories and so on blur their minds.

I'm just the kind of person who seems designed, probably by nature, to try to make a difference.

I do try to be of some use in the world. I sometimes do volunteer work with kids, and manage to help some people a little, but really making a significant difference can be hard.
