Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

The gods have fled, I know. My sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. I do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. If anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. I believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

Hope lies to mortals And most believe her, But man's deceiver Was never mine.

I'm still agnostic. But in the words of Elton Richards, I'm now a reverant agnostic. Which isn't an oxymoron, I swear. I now believe that whether or not there's a God, there is such a thing as sacredness. Life is sacred. The Sabbath can be a sacred day. Prayer can be a sacred ritual. There is something transcendent, beyond the everyday. It's possible that humans created this sacredness ourselves, but that doesn't take away from its power or importance.

Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe, having surveyed a few boxes full of letters, diaries, bank statements and photographs, that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.

The wise know their limitations; the foolish do not.

Clearly understand that the only limitations you will ever have are the limitations you impose upon yourself. You truly do have infinite potential.

Using no way as a way, having no limitation as limitation.

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
