“Instead of describing psychic phenomena as ‘paranormal,’ I prefer the term supernatural, because it refers to metaphysical or transcendental phenomena beyond human understanding. The supernatural does not adhere to natural laws, nor to parochial notions about what should be considered 'normal.' It can therefore not be conveniently 'explained away’ by physics or empirical science.”

“We cannot blame the public, science, or the media for the myths, misrepresentations, cynicism — and sometimes blatant ignorance of what it truly means to be a psychic or medium — while we continue as a community to use inaccurate, ill-conceived jargon and misconstrued concepts based on a flawed ‘sensory’ model of psychic perception.”

“So, you know about fairies? Tell me about them. “They are all around us, they are where plants are, and some are also where plants are not. They heal and beautify and sow seeds, they are the energy behind your beloved flowers, they pollinate, cultivate and talk to the stones. They hold great knowledge of magic, plants and earth magic and manifestation. They are happy joyful creatures, if it weren’t for them, we plants would not exist, and without plants you would not be able to exist. You see, it is all a symbiotic relationship, one entity helps the other who helps the other.” – Gum Trees”

“When they returned to Filigree Street, Mori refused even to go upstairs. Instead he hid under a quilt in the parlour with Thaniel's never-read copy of Anna Karenina. The Russians, he said, knew how to write genuinely boring novels, and he would only stop being afraid when he was bored enough. They were all the more boring because he could remember reading the end in the recent future.”

“People worry that AI has surpassed humans, but we doubt AI will claim this award anytime soon. One might think that the TED brand of bullshit is just a cocktail of sound-bite science, management-speak, and techno-optimism. But it's not so easy. You have to stir these elements together just right, and you have to sound like you believe them. For the foreseeable future, computers won't be able to make the grade.”
