"Bradbury's still the best, because he always takes me to a place where I surrender to a deep need I keep forgetting I have--to slow down and savor every image, every turn of phrase, every word. It's like getting off the train at Willoughby, but without the dying part." — Nov 28, 2014 08:57PM

“Respect only has meaning as respect for those with whom I do not agree.”

“A God who kept tinkering with the universe was absurd; a God
who interfered with human freedom and creativity was a tyrant. If God is
seen as a self in a world of his own, an ego that
relates to a thought, a cause separate from its effect, he becomes a
being, not Being itself. An omnipotent, all‐knowing tyrant is not so
different from earthly dictators who make everything and
everybody mere cogs in the machine which they controlled. An atheism
that rejects such a God is amply justified.”
