More From James Rollins

Human beings have got a lot of good, noble impulses inside them, and most people want to be good and do more good than they do evil. hell, we've had nuclear weapons now for thirty or thirty-five years and nothing's happened yet. that in itself seems to be a miracle. if reagan pushes the button or somebody pushes the button in russia or somebody pushes it in costa rica, they can put a big tombstone in outer space that says, "we gave it a good try." because we have.
Tombstone Years Space
People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.
Running Cancer Differences
I understand that the world was nothing: a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears. i understood that, finally and absolutely, i alone exist. all the rest, i saw, is merely what pushes me, or what i push against, blindly - as blindly as all that is not myself pushes back. i create the whole universe, blink by blink.
Enmity World Saws
If people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. a little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.
Love Hope Respect
The nature of the infant is not just a new permutation-and-combination of elements contained in the natures of the parents. there is in the nature of the infant that which is utterly unknown in the natures of the parents.
Parent Elements Combination
I early learned that there were two natures in me. this caused me a great deal of trouble, till i worked out a philosophy of life and struck a compromise between the flesh and the spirit. too great an ascendancy of either was to be abnormal, and since normality is almost a fetish of mine, i finally succeeded in balancing both natures. ordinarily they are at equilibrium; yet as frequently as one is permitted to run rampant, so is the other. i have small regard for an utter brute or for an utter saint.

Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives. but this dove here senses the love hawk floating above, and waits, and will not be driven or scared to safety.

Can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney? the fact is, you ran in '94 and lost. that's why you weren't serving in the senate with rick santorum. the fact is, you had a very bad re-election rating, you dropped out of office, you had been out of state for something like 200 days preparing to run for president. you didn't have this interlude of citizenship while you thought about what you do. you were running for president while you were governor.
Running Office President
Most people want to be able to go off and deal with their day - stop in here, run errands there - and when you can't do that, going out becomes a chore.
Running People Going Out
I felt very low. i had been unmasked only that morning by jay cee herself, and i felt now that all the uncomfortable suspicions i had about myself were coming true. after nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, i was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of race.
