“In my biology class, we'd talked about the definition of life: to be classified as a living creature, a thing needs to eat, breathe, reproduce, and grow. Dogs do, rocks don't, trees do, plastic doesn't. Fire, by that definition, is vibrantly alive. It eats everything from wood to flesh, excreting the waste as ash, and it breathes air just like a human, taking in oxygen and emitting carbon. Fire grows, and as it spreads, it creates new fires that spread out and make new fires of their own. Fire drinks gasoline and excretes cinders, it fights for territory, it loves and hates. Sometimes when I watch people trudging through their daily routines, I think that fire is more alive than we are–brighter, hotter, more sure of itself and where it wants to go. Fire doesn't settle; fire doesn't tolerate; fire doesn't 'get by.'
Fire does.
Fire is.”

“In My Bones"
You once called me a victim
Because I did not accept
The disrespect you gave.
That’s the day
I should have walked away
Instead of fighting for something
Not worth restoring.
If ever you believed me to be a victim,
You never knew me at all.
Overcoming is in my DNA.
Surviving is in my bones.”

I’m not talking about stuff like ”the secret self-help book, which basically tells you to tape a picture of a car to the wall and then sit on the couch and wait for someone to drop it off in your driveway. I am talking about visulatization that works when we actually get off our asses and do stuff. How totally crazy it that? Each time you make a good decision or do something nice or take care of yourself; each time you show up to work and work hard and do your best at everything you can do, you’re planting seeds for a life that you can onlye hope will grow beyond your wildest dreams. Take care of the little things – even the little things you hate- and treat them as promises to your own future. Soon you’ll see that fortune favors thhe bold who get shit done.”

“In my books my characters experience things as they are. My books allow youth an honest look at important issues affecting them.

We can't make life prettier for youth, but we can arm them.”
“In my books, The Origins of the Fourth World War as well as The Fool and His Enemy, I argue that we are experiencing a civilization-altering spiritual/intellectual change.
A New Religion is now displacing traditional Christianity and its adjunct in classical pagan teachings (i.e., Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, Cicero, etc.). The New Religion inverts the terms of man’s existence. The New Religion inverts sexuality, rank order, economic principles and morality. The elimination of Christianity as the ruling religion today is strikingly similar to the elimination of paganism as the ruling religion during the fourth century (insofar as it portends the outright destruction of civilization itself).
