"The atheist worldview of life is a materialistic culture that frees humanity from superstition."

“The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.”

“My favourite authors include Trollope and Dickens.”

“If a person wants to be publicly gay, they should not be teaching in the public schools.”

“Love is like a promise. Once you break it.. it doesn't come back unless you really fight for it.”

“Anything you put in a play -- any speech -- has got to do one of two things: either define character or push the action of the play along.”

“I know how I felt when I saw things like 'Fame' on television when I was growing up and how that was an exceptional magnet for me to want to explore the theater. I can only assume that 'Smash' is doing that for anyone who is halfway interested in theater already.”

“I have two sisters, and I think siblings are always going to be irresistible for novelists. They have been throughout time and they'll continue to be.”

“I love things that are brave enough to be nakedly about what our lives are actually built of, when you're wild about someone, or you love something, or you're a fool, or you embarrass yourself. And I don't think the answer is cynicism. Cynicism is not the cure for sentimentality. Cynicism is its own form of sentimentality. For example, I tried to watch Breaking Bad. After three episodes, I thought, I don't like this guy. I don't care about him. But you can see why people tell themselves that they think this is real. But real doesn't mean bad.”
