To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.

I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.
thinking movement failing
I think that the Occupy movement is, in one sense, the public saying that they should be the ones to decide who's too big to fail.
good-day writing emotional
If you give me a typewriter and I'm having a good day, I can write a scene that will astonish its readers. That will perhaps make them laugh, perhaps make them cry - that will have some emotional clout to it. It doesn't cost much to do that.
daughter mother children
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter… Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold… that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermo-dynamic miracle.

Technology is always a two-edged sword. It will bring in many benefits, but also many disasters.

tired here-i-am people
Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait. She bursts into angry tears, asking if it's because she's getting older. It's true. She's aging more noticeably every day—while I am standing still. I prefer the stillness here. I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.
rorschach hopeless
Nothing is insoluble. Nothing is hopeless. Not while there's life.
religious party organization
The Conservative Party is a religion in that they are bound together by belief. Almost any organization has its religious aspects.
ideas people comforting
A lot of people have found the idea of living your life over and over again absolutely terrifying; there's some people that find it very comforting. There are others that are appalled by it.
country night men
No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.
