“The world is simple, I think, in its essence. Life, death, love, hate. Desire, fulfillment. Magic.”

“Love. It's so close to hate, it's almost indistinguishable. But this is how it was for the two of them. Love and hate. Life and death. Joy and anguish.”

“When I look back on my life I come to one simple conclusion: there exists an intelligent, loving Presence in the Cosmos that will ultimately have its desire for relationship with us fulfilled; even our arrogant dismissal of its existence will not stop it in its tracks. The Enlightenment's god, the great idol of free will, lies smashed in pieces in its wake. The jealous Presence patiently draws us homeward like some gigantic electromagnetic beam. The Death Star in reverse. This divinity is, I believe, the 'Abba' of Jesus, a transcendence that will not be boxed in by religious misrepresentation...”

“If you think your desires are selfish or cruel, hate yourself. If you think the world unjust, then hate your god.”

“The essence of what I desire is simply this: to sleep away life.”

“Believe in the wonderment of life, the magic of love, and the reality of death.”
