"I am very annoyed about this issue. Why canâ€™t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems weâ€™re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I donâ€™t think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didnâ€™t realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men Iâ€™ve been out with."

“Poets and songwriters speak highly of spring as one of the great joys of life in the temperate zone, but in the real world most of spring is disappointing.

There's just a communal, visceral thing that never translates very well.”

[...] Candles have long been central to worship. By lighting them we announce that we are entering into a different sense of time. Not the usual ticktock time of daily living, but sacred time, a timeless time.”
“I think Henry Miller has had huge influence not because he wrote about sex, but because the memoir or the nonfiction novel has become such a monumental force in American publishing, if not in literature.”
“There have been three times. Once I got in a car accident and shattered my finger. A few years ago I didn't feel like being alive. That's all I can say.”
“America's Christian conservative movement is confronted with this divide: small-government advocates who want to practice their faith independent of heavy-handed government versus big-government sympathizers who want to impose their version of 'righteousness' on others through the hammer of law.... Our movement must avoid the temptations of power and those who would twist the good intentions of Christian voters to support policies that undermine freedom and grow government.”
