“Humility is a virtue of the heavenly, not arrogance. Are we the most superior beast on earth? No, not in strength and not in intelligence. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Both rats and monkeys have been shown to learn from error, yet we have not. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause on earth. Is massacring God’s creations really serving God – or the devil? And what father would want to see his children constantly divided and fighting? What God would allow a single human life to be sacrificed for monetary gain? Again, the Creator or the devil?”

“I've been on the very top. I've been as happy as a man can be. I've had the greatest joys. The greatest friends. I've had victories and I've had....love. And then...something happens. You lose something or...someone or...and there it is again. I'm there again. Mother's tangled. Father's yelling. I'm ten and I'm on my damn knees. And I'm scared out of my damn mind. And feeling that, I say...I become...something, I do things....I'm not...I am myself. But I'm not what I want to be or what I should be. I'm scared. And I'll do anything to get out of the fright.”

“Pain will present itself when it needs to. It will arise organically when you're in it, but you're not obligated to bring pain into this now when it's not naturally here. You don't need to wallpaper the present moment with suffering in order to prove that it matters.”

“I was anxious to find a mirror to get a better look at myself. I wasn’t afraid of what I might discover. Quite the contrary, I felt strangely at peace. Behind their easy-going nonchalance, my parents must have had to make sacrifices of untold proportions in order to come back and join me in this world. If it meant I needed to give up a portion of my lifeblood in exchange, I was quite willing to pay the price; in fact, it would actually be a load off my mind. Seeing for myself that I was paler than usual would let me breathe easier. My parents had been doing altogether too much of the giving.”
