“Travelling to past lives is like making a hole in the floor and letting the flames of the fire in the apartment below scorch and burn the present”

“What I wanted was to blow a hole in the sky, explode a star, let the burning embers scorch me and everything they touched.”

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will flame kindle upon you.”

“Dangerous to me, that sexuality, because I'd been burned by that flame once before and would be forever scorched.”

“Many fires burn below the surface.”

“You and I move through time like a flame on a string. The ashes behind are the past, consumed, unreachable. The string ahead is the future. But the only moment we inhabit, the only moment where we can act, is the present, the point where the flame burns, the point where time touches eternity.”
