Life will defend itself no matter how small it is.

I did not count the days or the weeks or the months. Time is an illusion that only makes us pant. I survived because I forgot even the very notion of time.

I chose the name Pi because it's an irrational number (one with no discernable pattern). Yet scientists use this irrational number to come to a "rational" understanding of the universe. To me, religion is a bit like that, "irrational" yet with it we come together we come to a sound understanding of the universe.

When your own life is threatened, your sense of empathy is blunted by a terrible, selfish hunger for survival.

The worst pair of opposites is boredom and terror. Sometimes your life is a pendulum swing from one to the other.

Life is an interpretation of a series of facts, and that interpretation is really what life is about. So the division between non-fiction and fiction has a certain logic, but it's a very limited one. And by and large, it isn't helpful.

To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.
