Spontaneity
“Faith- in life, in other people, and in oneself- is the attitude of allowing the spontaneous to be spontaneous, in it’s own way and time. It is, I suppose, my basic metaphysical axiom, my ‘leap of faith,’ that whatever happened once can always happen again.The more surely and vividly you know the future, the more it makes sense to say you’ve already had it.”

Fragments of the Whole
“…You are a part, a piece, of an eternal, infinite being, an aspect or modification of it… Inconceivable as it seems to ordinary reason, you- and all other conscious beings as such- are all in all. Hence this life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be...

Nearly Perfect
You said that we were nearly perfect, but you needed someone to scream back at the world with you and I was just too in love with it. And I think maybe you’re right; I never hated the world the way you did and I never understood it. I guess I still don’t really understand, though in a way I wish I did. Perhaps if I had understood then the vineyard and Bernard, little Oscar and Hunter...

On Love
Last night we lay in bed, the rain falling heavily on the window and I told you that I thought that real love is not an understanding that another person could give you something you wanted, but a wanting to give another person everything that you could of yourself. And I guess what I missed out was that when two people are really in love, both of you also get exactly what you always wanted...

On Science Vs Religion
I’m not going to really argue any side here. I’m not going to give you scientific facts or religious quotes. My ‘God’ is the Universe and everything in it and both Science and Religion are a part of that. I don’t think science is wrong, but it does change and progress. My beliefs, like Science, change and develop the more I learn and observe or think and listen or...
