The idea that a game is anything more than a game... you know, there are people who are basically unbalanced who are going to misuse a game and have bad results. if a golfer who insists on playing during a lightning storm gets hit by a stroke of lightning and is killed nobody says, 'there's golfers dying by the droves being hit by lightning!' you can overdo what you really like, and if you're unbalanced you go overboard.

There are two kinds of geniuses. the characteristic of the one is roaring, but the lightning is meagre and rarely strikes; the other kind is characterized by reflection by which it constrains itself or restrains the roaring. but the lightning is all the more intense; with the speed and sureness of lightning it hits the selected particular points - and is fatal.

She could walk through a lightning storm without being touched; grab a bolt of lightning in the palm of her hand; use the heat of lightning to start the kindling going under her medicine pot. she turned the moon into salve, the stars into swaddling cloth, and healed the wounds of every creature walking up on two or down on four.

Deep inside i feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. i believe that in its primordial form all of creation is sound and that it's not just random sound, that it's music. you've heard the expression, music of the spheres? well, that's a very literal phrase. in the gospels, we read, "and the lord god made man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul." that 'breath of life' to me is the music of life and it permeates every fiber of creation.

I think," tehanu said in her soft, strange voice, "that when i die, i can breathe back the breath that made me live. i can give back to the world all that i didn't do. all that i might have been and couldn't be. all the choices i didn't make. all the things i lost and spent and wasted. i can give them back to the world. to the lives that haven't been lived yet. that will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life i did live, the love i loved, the breath i breathed.

My idea of the christian religion is, that it is an inspiration and its vital consequences--an inspiration and a life--god's life breathed into a man and breathed through a man--the highest inspiration and the highest life of every soul which it inhabits; and, furthermore, that the soul which it inhabits can have no high issue which is not essentially religious.

I was very disturbed when jesus found a demon in a guy, and he put the demon in a herd of pigs, then sent them off a cliff. what did the pigs do? i could never figure that out. it just seemed very un-christian. technically, i'm an agnostic, but i definitely believe in hell -- especially after watching the fall tv schedule.
