“You learned to run from what you feel, and that's why you have nightmares. To deny is to invite madness. To accept is to control.”

“Impatient men are generous ones. Or haven't you learned that by now?”

“Imagine you come upon a house painted brown. What color would you say the house was?""Why brown, of course.""But what if I came upon it from the other side, and found it to be white?""That would be absurd. Who would paint a house two colors?"He ignored my question. "You say it's brown, and I say it's white. Who's right?""We're both right.""Non," he said. "We're both wrong. The house isn't brown or white. It's both. You and I only see one side. But that doesn't mean the other side doesn't exist. To not see the whole is to not see the truth.”

“The Bible was written by man to serve his own ends. Like society. Like the church. We use such things to control one another, but what right do we have to do so?”

“All life's a risk, that's what makes it interesting.”

“The answers are what they are. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they aren't true.”

“Trying to justify a world we don't hold all the answers to is what bedevils the best of us. Sometimes it's better just to accept that things are as we see them.”
