My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix.

If the entire week is a battlefield, reading the Bible is sort of like that parachute with the box of reserves that come in the middle of the war: food and water and the toothbrush and toilet paper.

We have these images, these icons before us that are not reality.

Let optimists rule the world.
