A drug for everything is madness. Legal or not, prescribed or not, over-counter under-counter bought for blood on street-corners-every pill separates us from knowing our own completion and from being taught by what's true.

I like that you can open up any one of my books anywhere and immediately be lost. I just love them so much.

Why? What is so wonderful about mass murder that nobody in the history of the world has ever fond any smarter solution to problems than killing everybody who doesn’t agree? Is that the limit of human intelligence?

Anything we need to know, we can learn it from a book. Reading, careful study, a little practice, and we’re throwing knives expertly, overhauling engines, speaking Esperanto like natives.

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

We love action and adventure, but we use it to go out and start wars and kill people.
