Somebody asked Somerset Maugham about his place in the pantheon of writers, and he said, I'm in the very front row of the second rate. I'm sort of haunted by that.

There’s always a choice. That’s God’s way, always will be. Your will is still free. Do as you will. There’s no set of leg-irons on you. But... this is what God wants of you.

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?

I don't ask myself, Well, does God exist or does God not exist? I choose to believe that God exists, and therefore I can say, God, I can't do this by myself. Help me not to take a drink today. Help me not to take a drug today. And that works fine for me.

All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one.

Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up

I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint every line in the dirt like a secret message.

How life did imitate art sometimes. And the cruder the art, the closer the imitation.

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.

I think telling stories is like pushing something. Pushing against uncreation itself, maybe.
