“Onstage I'm always different than offstage. I can be very friendly offstage, but onstage I will pull one trick after another on my competition to wipe him out, you know-because it's my living and I have to win.

“Onto his stomach. Then knees. Then hands. His elbows quivered, his wrists threatened to buckle under his own weight. Self-centered, stubborn, sentimental, childish, vain. I am humanity. Cynical, naive, kind, cruel, soft as down, hard as tungsten steel.
I am humanity
He crawled.
I am humanity.
He fell.
I am humanity.
He got up.”

“Ontogeny re-capitulates phylogeny.”
“Ontological Fourier mathematics is the complete mathematical explanation of Cartesian philosophy. It converts a substance dualism into a dual-aspect substance monism. There is only one substance - mathematics - but it can exist both dimensionlessly (as mind) and dimensionally (as matter, the product of mind). Mind adds the framing dimensions of space (extended real numbers) and time (extended imaginary numbers) to the unextended real and imaginary numbers of the frequency domain. (Ontologically, frequencies are not in space and time. They are instead the source of space and time).”

“Ontological mathematics is based on light. Light is eternal (it does not experience time and it does not experience space and is therefore indestructible); light is mental (it is massless and immaterial), light is absolute (it provides the absolute reference frame – the ether – for all spacetime reference frames). Light corresponds exactly to the immaterial, unextended mind posited by Descartes. Have you seen the light? Once you realize that light is nothing but sinusoidal waves, as per Euler’s Formula, you have the means to understand the whole of reality. Light is God. Light is the substance of an intelligent, living, thinking mathematical organism, calculating its own perfection. All of the great ancients understood this type of picture of reality. No modern scientist does.”

“Ontological mathematics is operating in such a way as to organize itself into a zero-entropy structure – mathematical perfection. The “Big Bang” is equivalent to the total scrambling of a cosmic Rubik’s Cube. The task of ontological mathematics is then to unscramble the Cube and return it to its original, pristine configuration. Emotionally, this amounts to returning to perfect Love and Bliss. Intellectually, it means reaching a state of perfect logic and reason … thinking perfectly”

“Ontological questions are generally beside the point, hardly more than a form of harassment.”
“Ontologically, chocolate raises profoundly disturbing questions: Does not chocolate offer natural revelation of the goodness of the Creator just as chilies disclose a divine sense of humor? Is the human born with an innate longing for chocolate? Does the notion of chocolate preclude the concept of free will?”
“Ontology, as a science of substances and causes, is impossible; We know beings only by their relations: however, as it is necessary, for the needs of science, to distinguish in each of its aspects this great whole that we call the UNIVERSE, we have given special names to things known and unknown, to the visible and invisible, to those that we know and that we believe.”

“Ontology recapitulates philology.”
“Onu anlatmak için, 'güzel', 'boylu poslu', 'sarışın/esmer', 'şahane' gibi sözcükler kullanmak haksızlık olurdu. Onun için bu dünya dışından gelmiş kadar değişik, bir kuyruklu yıldız kadar etkileyici, iyi pişmiş kahve kadar tiryakilik yaratıcı, gezegene yalnız yollandığı için eşsiz, bir ipekböceği kadar dikbaşlı denildiğinde bir şeyler söylenmiş sayılırdı ancak. Dingin ve içe sinmiş bir güzellikti onunkisi. Asıl önemlisi beni bir manyetik alana çeker gibi güçlü etkisi ve çok kumral olduğuydu.”

“Onu hiç görmemişti;görmesine gerek yoktu.Öğle vakti mısırlar arasından geçen gölge,soğuk bir hava dalgasıydı.Sesi,onu korkutmuş olan bütün seslere bürünerek ona doğru geliyordu...yumuşakça konuştuğunda merdiven altındaki tosvuranböceğinin bir sevilenin öleceğini haber veren tıkırtısı; yükseldiğinde kıyamet gibi batıdan çıkıp gelen fırtınayla yıldırımlar oluşuyordu.Bazen de mısırlar arasında esen yalnız gece rüzgarının hışırtısından başka hiç ses olmaz ama adamın orada olduğunu bilirdi ve en kötüsü de buydu, çünkü yüzü olmayan adam Tanrı'dan sadece birazcık eksik gibiydi; o anlarda Mısır üzerinden sessizce uçmuş,kapının kanla işaretlenmediği bütün evlerdeki ilk evlatları öldürmüş kara meleğe dokunabilecek kadar yakın olduğunu hissediyordu.Onu en çok bu korkutuyordu.Korkusu onu yine küçük bir çocuğa çeviriyor,diğerlerinin onu gördüğünü,ondan korktuğunu ama korkunç gücünü sadece kendisinin görebildiğini biliyordu.”

“Onward and upward he pushed until rock, ground, and forest came to an end, until there was nothing but a sharp edge of blunt earth protruding in the late light of the range, where he could see well beyond the park boundaries to national forest land that he had once scouted on foot and horseback. He remembered it then as roadless, the only trails being those hacked by Indians and prospectors. He had taken notes on the flora and fauna, commented on the age of the bristlecone pine trees at the highest elevations, the scrub oak in the valleys, the condors overhead, the trout in alpine tarns. He had lassoed that wild land in ink, returned to Washington, and sent the sketch to the president, who preserved it for posterity. What did Michelangelo feel at the end of his life, staring at a ceiling in the Vatican or a marble figure in Florence? Pinchot knew. And those who followed him, his great-great-grandchildren, Teddy's great-great-grandchildren, people living in a nation one day of five hundred million people, could find their niche as well. Pinchot felt God in his soul, and thanked him, and weariness in his bones. He sensed he had come full circle.”
