The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.

Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?

Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.

Moral #1: If you work hard, stay focused, and never give up, you will eventually get what you want in life. Moral #2: Sometimes the things we want most in life are the things that will kill us.

Meaningful stories have lots and lots of conflict. If we avoid conflict, our stories won't be meaningful.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.

All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.

I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.
