“Miracles define common sense.”

“I mean it as a compliment when I say that you could almost define a philosopher as someone who won't take common sense for an answer.”

“We must remember that there is a great difference between a myth and a miracle. A myth is the idealization of a fact. A miracle is the counterfeit of a fact. There is the same difference between a myth and a miracle that there is between fiction and falsehood -- between poetry and perjury. Miracles belong to the far past and the far future. The little line of sand, called the present, between the seas, belongs to common sense to the natural.”

“Love is the most common miracle.”

“A miracle is often the willingness to see the common in an uncommon way.”

“Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”
