• You call a star a star, and say it is just a ball of matter moving on a mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth.

• There are so many kinds of time. The time by which we measure our lives. Months and years. Or the big time, the time that raises mountains and makes stars. Or all the things that happen between one heartbeat and the next. Its hard to live in all those kinds of times. Easy to forget that you live in all of them.

• God was something I did not understand the way kids who went to church did. They said God was a man in the sky with white hair and a beard like Santa. This seemed strange to me.

• True freedom has more to do with following the North Star than going whichever way the wind blows.  Sometimes it seems like freedom is blowing with the winds of the day, but that kind of freedom is really an illusion.  It turns your boat in circles.  Freedom is sailing toward your dreams.
