“This place is clockless as paradise.”

“Yes, there is no hope. But remember, some fuses are duds, some tumors are benign, some heart patients recover on their own. You have time to change your life.”

“You deal with mythological stuff for a few years, you learn that paradises are usually places where you get killed.”

“Because God is with you all the time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are right now.”

“The most sacred place in the world is your mind. Guard it ferociously.”

“This is the only job I ever wanted and this is the only place I ever wanted to be!”

“Sometimes wisdom came from strange places, even from giant teenaged goldfish.”
