• Yet even in the loneliness of the canyon I knew there were others like me who had brothers they did not understand but wanted to help.

• The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
  By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
  Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will,
  Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness,
  For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
  And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger
  Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
  And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

• If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.

• The Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade.

• Here is the point about myself and my co-thinkers. Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not hold our convictions dogmatically. We believe with certainty that an ethical life can be lived without religion. And we know for a fact that the corollary holds true - that religion has caused innumerate people not just to conduct themselves no better than others, but to award themselves permission to behave in ways that would make a brothel-keeper or an ethnic cleanser raise an eyebrow.
