I don’t mean to imply that I’m afraid of Death. I’m just not ready to go out on a date with him Picture Quote #1

No one can genuinely love the world, which is too large to love entire. To love all the world at once is pretense or dangerous self-delusion. Loving the world is like loving the idea of love, which is perilous because, feeling virtuous about this grand affection, you are freed from the struggles and the duties that come with loving people as individuals Picture Quote #1

I’m either a mutant or a cripple, and I refuse to be a cripple. People pity cripples, but they’re afraid of mutants [...] Fear implies respect Picture Quote #1

Acting is a marvelous profession ... If you can spend enough time playing other people, you don’t have to think too much about your own character and motivations Picture Quote #1

If Edgar Allan Poe were alive today, his agent would be constantly slapping him upside the head with tightly rolled copies of his brilliant short stories and novelettes, yelling, ‘Full-length novels, you moron!

I’ve not seen in my lifetime any politician who is a heroic figure. The manipulation that all politicians use on one level or another is so transparent Picture Quote #1

I just became fascinated with how complex and unlikely the universe is and life is and Catholicism gives me an answer to that Picture Quote #1

Some days I’m lucky to squeeze out a page of copy that pleases me, but I get as many as six or seven pages on a very good day; the average is probably three pages Picture Quote #1

I’ve had good publishers and bad publishers, and you’ve got to learn when the advice is sensible and when it’s not Picture Quote #1

While I like people, I do also like being alone in a room and seeing what you can do with a particular theme or subject Picture Quote #1

Beauty that steals the heart is often imperfect, suggests grace and kindness, and inspires tenderness more than it incites lust Picture Quote #1

No one’s life should be rooted in fear. We are born for wonder, for joy, for hope, for love, to marvel at the mystery of existence, to be ravished by the beauty of the world, to seek truth and meaning, to acquire wisdom, and by our treatment of others to brighten the corner where we are Picture Quote #1

Knowing the names of things is a way to pay respect to the beauty of the world Picture Quote #1

There’s no use wasting are energy being afraid of the devils, demons and things that go bump in the night... Because ultimately we’ll never encounter anything more terrifying than the monster among us. Hell is where we make it Picture Quote #1

Eventually, as my books became best-sellers, the nickels pile up and one day I was offered a substantial four-book deal that was lucrative as any airliner hijacking in history. Though writing those four books was hard work, at least I didn’t have to wear Kevlar body armor, carry heavy bandoliers of spare ammunition, or work with associates named Mad Dog Picture Quote #1

More likely, they would just cease to exist.That’s death.No, it’s different. Death leaves a corps Picture Quote #1

Change isn’t easy. Changing the way you live means changing the way you think, means changing what you believe about life. That’s hard Picture Quote #1

Is there some meaning to this life? What purpose lies behind the strife? Whence do we come, where are we bound? These cold questions echo and resound through each day, each lonely night. We long to find the splendid light that will cast a revelatory beam upon the meaning of the human dream. Courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy lift us above the simple beasts and define humanity Picture Quote #1
