Part of me is afraid to let go of this other thing, which was so hugely successful. But on the other hand, I have to move ahead, or else my feet are stuck in the cement. I feel like I'm capable of writing other kinds of music, and I'm at a transitional time in my life.
Billy Joel

Philip Pullman

And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt.
