""But the truth is that the curtain rises upon the play already in progress. In one sense it is a true paradox that there was history before there was history.... Very probably it was exceedingly like the history we do know, except in the one detail that we do not know it.... In other words, our most ancient records only reach back to a time when humanity had long been human, and even long been civilized."" — Nov 02, 2014 06:41AM

"In short, I had always believed that the world involved magic: now I thought that perhaps it involved a magician. And this pointed a profound emotion always present and sub-conscious; that this world of ours has some purpose; and if there is a purpose, there is a person. I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller." — Nov 17, 2015 09:46AM

“In my view, the pro-life movement at this point should focus on seeking to reduce the number of abortions. At times it will require political education and legal fights, at times it will require education and the establishment of alternatives to abortion, such as adoption centers. Unfortunately, such measures are sometimes opposed by so-called hard-liners in the pro-life movement. These hard-liners are fools. Because they want to outlaw all abortions, they refuse to settle for stopping some abortions; the consequence is that they end up preventing no abortions.”

“There is a legitimate argument over whether the death penalty effectively deters violent crime, although my personal observation is that not one of the criminals who have been executed over the years has ever killed again.”
