“The mechanism which we don't understand is not anything in our soul, but rather that of the life of this expression.”

“Robots do not celebrate anything. Celebration is an expression of joy, which cannot be mechanized.”

“Story is the mechanism by which we live, express, understand, and evolve. Story is more than just equipment for living — it’s life itself. When a culture’s stories are honest, authentic, and connected to the truth, the culture is strong, productive, and progressive. When a culture’s stories stagnate and become derivative, deceptive, shallow, and unconnected to the energy of life, the culture erodes, degrades, and eventually perishes (although the people may not realize they’re dead!). Stories are the manner by which we extract meaning out of the fibrous pulp of our everyday lives. And meaning is the spiritual oxygen that allows our soul to breathe. Without stories, life has no meaning. Without meaning, we cannot live.”

“If writing has taught me anything, it's that you don't actually understand anything until you can express it in words.”

“We must see people not as object but as beings, with souls and with bodies through which they express their souls.”

“Man asks and God replies but we don't understand his replies because they dwell in the depths of our souls and remain there until we die.”
