“We could not swim, but now we are swimming— We have to swim. It is not fair. It is never fair. We have no chance to be part of the decision That changes us. We were, and then we are. Regrettably, We are not alone. If it is one of us, It is all of us, so many of us.”

“In the yells of excitement I ride into the unknown fearlessly through the glen But i can't shake off the feeling that I am being gazed down In an open assessment A swiftness shifts the air And I hear a sharp cry As shadow of a vast hawk Sweeps across the valley My eyes rove the sky And pulling the reins i follow it in its flight As it circle and dove I outstretch my arm To have it take its place And with a single beat of its fierce wings It descended with grace Its talons grip my wrist And the hawk met my eyes Unblinking and ancient And my eyes travel To a rolled parchment That’s tied on its legs With a shimmering thread Recognising the unmistakable seal I unravel the message, Its a call from the guardians And I am invited, to attend my fate.”

“I don't know what I believe anymore. If God does exist, then He's just an asshole, creating this world full of human suffering and letting all these terrible things happen to good people, and sitting there and doing nothing about it. At June's memorial service, a few people came up to me and said some really stupid things, like how everything happens for a reason, and God never gives us more than we can handle. All I could think was, does that mean if I was a weaker person, this never would've happened? Am I seriously supposed to buy that June's death was part of some stupid divine plan? I don't believe that. I can't. It just doesn't make sense.”

“The idea of determinism, he said, is that everything that happens, and every decision or action you make, is "causally inevitable." Why? Because everything is caused by something else: a preceding action, event or situation. [...] He said people can only act as they actually do. A murderer, for example, will inevitably murder because his childhood, his genes, his brain chemistry, his socioeconomic situation, his fear of rejection, the convenient proximity of a defenseless woman on a dark street corner, will all lead him, inevitably, to murder. Someone said, quite passionately as I recall, as if we were speaking of a specific murder and not a hypothetical one, "But he chose to murder! He had free will!" The bearded man said he himself was a "hard determinist" and therefore did not believe in free will. [...] If free will doesn't exist, if all your decisions and actions are inevitable, are you still required to apologize for them?”
