“You ever wonder if this is Heaven now? You ever wonder if we're all just there now and we don't know it?
I've thought about that. All of us have. There's a lot less people who go to church than there used to be, because that's what a lot of people think.
But I don't think so. But I think about it. And I think, well, I can't be. Because I'm like you, I kinda look at the big long life ahead of me that stretches out forever and disappears. And I get scared. And I think, "this can't be Heaven if I'm getting scared, right?"
And then I think, "maybe I am in Heaven, and Heaven is scary.”

“Was there no safety? No learning by heart of the ways of the world? No guide, no shelter, but all was miracle, and leaping from the pinnacle of a tower into the air? Could it be, even for elderly people, that this was life?—startling, unexpected, unknown?”

“Over the course of my life, as I have made my Houdini-like escapes from one self-imposed constraint after another, a question haunts me with increasing insistence. How many levels does this game have?”
