“They are always the problem. There is no evil in this world you cannot blame on them. The world will never be right as long as they exist. Whereas we are right, we are always right. We desire to make the world a better place whereas they either consciously desire to make it worse or else are willing to make it so through wrong ideas. There is only one way to make the world we are trying to create, and that is to get rid of them, get rid of every last one of them. And the only way to do that is to stop creating them. Because there is no “they” until we choose to see someone as such. When we choose to see the humanity in everyone, then there is no more they, there is only us.”

“Where once we aspired to be more like our heroes, today we try to make our heroes more like us.”

“Perhaps the media may not always be telling what to think, but it is always telling you what to think about.”

“If God rewards the faithful with earthly rewards, then what leverage does the devil have?”

“It is wisdom to know who you are, but not to the point of excluding who you might become.”

“There is a third choice besides being busy and killing time, something profound.”

“Each man is an island unto himself. But though a sea of difference may divide us, an entire world of commonality lies beneath.”
