I can't understand why people use religion to hurt each other when there's already so much pain in the world.

I think that's what people most always do with the stuff they can't make out - just forget it.

I start work around 8 a.m. and usually finish around noon. If there's more to do, I do it in the late afternoon, although that isn't prime time for me.

Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.

It's funny how close the past is, sometimes. Sometimes it seems as if you could almost reach out and touch it. Only who really wants to?

When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.

Time was a face on the water, and like the great river before them, it did nothing but flow.
