“By God, the old man could handle a spade.Just like his old man.”
“Doubt crouched over his shoulder, ready to take him by the throat, whispering in his ear, You are an old man. An old, old man.”
“Little did the old man know how much God liked to talk to His children, how He longed to listen to them.”
“Gods should be iridescent, like the rainbow in the storm. Man creates a God in his own image, and the gods grow old along with the men that made them... But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.”
“Inside an old man is always a young man, a young man shaped by his friends.”
“There is an old joke that went around- it goes, in the beginning God made man in His own image, and since the fall, man has been seeking to return the compliment.”
