I'm apt to get drunk on words...Ontology: the word about the essence of things; the word about being.

Nothing, no one, is too small to matter. What you do is going to make a difference.

What is self-image? Who started talking about one? I rather fancy it was Madison Avenue.

One reason nearly half my books are for children is the glorious fact that the minds of children are still open to the living word; in the child, nightside and sunside are not yet separated; fantasy contains truths which cannot be stated in terms of proof.

Darkness was and darkness was good. As with light. Light and Darkness dancing together, born together, born of each other, neither preceding, neither following, both fully being, in joyful rhythm.

Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.
