Quotes

  • I have always been a great admirer of Samuel Johnson. I think that he is one of the few writers who made English better by writing in it. And by that I mean he wrote in a style which is not easily imitated, and those who try to imitate it fail. He was a very complicated man, and I find his life very interesting, and his quotes very interesting.
  • I don't like to quote myself because I don't like being wrong.
  • I don't know why people insist on pitting concepts of evolution and creation against each other. Why can't they see that spiritualism and science are one? That bodies evolve and souls evolve and the universe is a fluid package that marries them both in a wonderful package called a human being.
