My point is that there are a lot of forces, like the media and the general political rhetoric tells us we should have more. That we should do better than our parents and have a bigger house or a better car.

Even if I don't like what I am, I know what I am. My children like what they are, but they don't know what they are. So tell me which is worse.

Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.

Memories are small prayers to God, if we believed in that sort of thing.

The images of his infinite pasts and infinite futures washed over him as he waited, paralyzed, in the present.

Tomorrow was over the horizon, and would take an entire day to reach.

I know you look both ways before you cross the street, but I want you to look both ways a second time, because I told you to.
