It's about me, or people wouldn't be so anxious to keep me from knowing about it. The absence of information is information. ~ Ender
I always think of books as being like people. Even the dull ones are worthy of decent respect, but you don't have to seek them out and spend time with them.
You accomplish exactly as much as the people who serve you decide you'll accomplish and nothing more.
Good people can't out-think evil, cause evil thinks of things good folks can't think of.
Evil people naturally assume that you will use that power exactly as they would use it.
Sometimes you have to trust people enough to let them succeed and love them enough to let them fail.
Good people aren't good because they never cause harm to others. They're good because they treat others the best way they know how, with the understanding that they have.
Sometimes good people have to do terrible things.
I don't believe that there are aliens. I believe there are really different people.
Religion is tied to the deepest feelings people have. The love that arises from that stewing pot is the sweetest and strongest, but the hate is the hottest, and the anger is the most violent.
Good people do not let others suffer needlessly.
