“I’m a child of the universe, I have lived in almost all continents.”
“The Hall was the place where the great lord used to eat . . . He ate not in private, except in time of sickness . . . Nay, the king himself used to eat in the Hall, and his lords sat with him, and he understood men.”
“People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.”
“What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls.”
“I think of Pope Gregory the Great. He wanted the cloister. He wanted to pray and study, and yet he was thrust into this administrative job, and he submitted to that. And in that submission, he became a great leader. You could say that the only person who is safe to lead is the person who is free to submit.”
“During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.”
“I try to make myself do things for other people when I'm feeling down. Like, you can call your local hospital and help out in the pediatric unit.”
“I've become this sort of icon for the gay community. I don't like the position.”
