In this age, lies were the universal lubricant of the culture. A love of Truth and commitment to it were seldom rewarded and were often punished.

When a knot gets to tight, you can always cut the rope

He is different, and there will be many people you love who will be unhappy with you. You don’t want them to feel you’ve dishonored them. Yes, I know how it is. But life is short. A chance for great happiness doesn’t come along all that often.

We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.

Rub-a-dub-dub. Cerebrum in a tub.

Image
When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We've no light within, and we're just living to die.
Dean Koontz
Image
I believe in the possibility of miracles but, more to the point, I believe in our need for them.

Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.
