Respect spiritual beings but keep your distance.
I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human...
Howard Braddock: Dad, I'm being quiet, I'm being good, I'm being-have!

I have been branded with folly and madness for attempting what the world calls impossibilities, and even from the great engineer, the late , who said ... that I deserved hanging for bringing into use the high-pressure engine. This has so far been my ...

John Bender: Don't you ever talk about my friends. You don't know any of my friends. You don't look at any of my friends. And you certainly wouldn't condescend to speak to any of my friends. So you just stick to the things you know: shopping, nail po...
Walker and Timothy sat quietly for a very long time. “Why do so many people make it so hard for anyone to help them or to love them?” Walker asked finally. Timothy chuckled. “Ah, Walker—if I could explain all of humanity’s foibles, I’d be...
