“We think we have to prove our allegiance to God by being poor. Many years ago, my own psychic development teacher taught me that to be on a spiritual path meant that you needed to be poor, because that was proving your allegiance to God.

“We're not cognitively equipped to deal with it. And it's becoming a problem, frankly. It's part of the reason why I quit Facebook.

“The earliest influence on me was the movies of the thirties when I was growing up. Those were stories. If you look at them now, you see the development of character and the twists of plot; but essentially they told stories. My mother didn't go to the movies because of a religious promise she made early in her life, and I used to go to movies and come home and tell her the plots of those old Warner Brothers/James Cagney movies, the old romantic love stories. Through these movies that had real characters, I absorbed drama, sense of pacing, and plot.” IfsLooksMadeRealCharacterStoriesHomeUsedMotherReligiousGrowing UpGrowingInfluenceBrotherDevelopmentPromiseDramaLove StoryPlotComing HomeRomantic LoveTwistsPacingReal CharacterWarner Brothers Author:Robert Cormier
