1.) Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made up or paid for in factories.

2.) My stories run up and bite me in the leg -- I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.

3.) If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.

4.) We are anthill men upon an anthill world.

Islam is NOT a religion in
which God requires you to send your son to die for Him. Christianity is
a faith in which God sent His son to die for you. How can god have a son if he isnt human? Why attach human qualities to the creator of all mankind?
