If we can prove an afterlife, then we have less pressure to make our physical life last forever.
edge last life moment risk seemed
It seemed that moment would last forever. That you had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge to ever be saved.

Every generation wants to be the last.

Taste is such a changing thing. Every age our tastes change. But the things that really last aren't necessarily the best or the worst or the most loved things, but they're the things that make the biggest impression.

Everybody's trying to make every minute of the present last forever. Preserve every second.

Every apostle or disciple, as much as they're running to follow their savior- they're running just as hard to escape something else.

People say I make up wild stories. But all I have to do is write down stuff that really happens.

The third person allows characters to really attack themselves. We all do this - attack ourselves - every hour of our lives.

I usually write in my kitchen, which is a large, octagonal room that looks into woods - three big windows look out into the trees.

I've always been very curious about fringe cultures where people temporarily adopt a different social model or way of presenting themselves.
age god
At the age of 31, I realized, 'Oh my God, I may die like everyone else.'
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
