“Some people think and say that we came here to suffer. Hmmmmmmm. I don’t think so.”

“Some people think they have to marry someone just like themselves. Well, if you want to do that, it's ok. It might be more interesting though if you marry someone who is not just like you. Hmmmmmmm.”

“Time does not pass - only events pass. Where do they go? Hmmmmmmm.”

“In a sense, all life is a prank. We are not who we appear to be and no one else is as they appear to be. So how can we handle that little mystery? This whole business about God – what’s that all about? No one knows anything about that either. So we have people who are not as they appear to be, telling us about something that they have no idea about. We really are on our own here to try and figure it out. That’s the real adventure of it. Some people are anxious to tell you what they know and have experienced. I’d rather hear from some people who admit to what they don’t know and haven’t experienced. They’re much more interesting.”

“Don’t take everything so seriously, especially yourself. It isn’t what you think, anyway.”

“When you are around people who are really suffering, you get to experience some of their suffering and that can make you stronger in your faith.”

“At some point we have to be able to say, “I have no idea what is going on.” Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder if that’s the whole trip, so that we can actually know what’s going on. Hmmmmmmmm.”
