Childhood Quotes
Writing was not a childhood dream of mine. I do not recall longing to write as a student. I wasn't sure how to start.

In civilized places idleness, once the prerequisite for abstract thought, poetry, religion, philosophy, and falling in love, has become a character flaw.

Except during my childhood, when I was probably influenced by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel depiction of God with a flowing white beard, I have never tried to project the Creator in any kind of human likeness. The vociferous debates about whether God is male or female seem ridiculous to me.

To me, these are profound and indescribable concepts that seem to be trivialized when expressed in words.
