  • I walk up a dune to a beach and look out to sea, but it's 100km away. The ships lie askew in their dry beds, at anchor for ever. Today is my son's birthday. Thousands of miles from here, his healthy lungs are blowing out candles. I should be there but I'm here with another boy, who puts his face close to mine and laughs. I smile back but realise he can't see it, because I'm wearing an antiseptic muzzles to protect me from his breath.

  • The safe place lies in obedience to God's Word, singleness of heart and holy vigilance.

  • The rainy Pleiads wester Orion plunges prone, And midnight strikes and hastens, And I lie down alone.

  • Do I do as false prophets do and puff air into simulacra? Am I a Sorcerer--like Macbeth's witches--mixing truth and lies in incandescent shapes? Or am I a kind of very minor scribe of a prophetic Book--telling such truth as in me lies, with aid of such fiction as I acknowledge mine, as Prospero acknowledged Caliban.

  • Men are not as sophisticated as women. They're not as mature as women. They're not as connected with their emotions as women...There's a very Neanderthal quality that still exists in a lot of men... And if you're in the public eye, to me, it's very boring to say what you have to say and be media trained to the extent that you don't ever reveal any truth. There was a time in my life when I lived probably a bit more on the primal level. And it was amazing.

  • The conversation on global warming has been stalled because a shrinking group of denialists fly into a rage when it's mentioned.

  • There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted.

  • When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic.

  • The right response to the non-problem of global warming is to have the courage to do nothing.

  • There is no global warming problem, there isn't going to be a global warming problem. Sit back and enjoy the sunshine.
