“I am...I am constantly moving in the direction of higher evolutionary impulses, creativity, abstraction, and meaning.”

“Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart - one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of man.”

“God is constantly on the move. I cannot stay where I am and follow God at the same time; responding requires movement.”

“I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.”

“I could be well moved, if I were as you;If I could pray to move, prayers would move me:But I am constant as the northern star,Of whose true-fix'd and resting qualityThere is no fellow in the firmament.”

“If I am not being creative, I get creative with ways to destroy myself.”
