Sunday night... the universe is quiet again. Every working man and woman goes to bed mildly disturbed by the rumination on life's mystery.

Life is a string of lessons we either reluctantly learn from or miss entirely. But only a Lifegiver can salvage what's lost and give meaning to pain. Our life is not our own inasmuch as we weren't there when it was conceived. What we lose in this life wasn't ours to own in the first place. Be glad it was once there at all.

The pursuit of passion in any subject is like the filling of pollen into every cranny of the honeycomb—it's a lifetime of labour from joy!

It never ceases to amaze that people often go out of their way to state their particular worldview that all worldview are basically the same. How self-defeating! But if you hear them carefully they are actually saying "all beliefs are wrong EXCEPT MINE!", which makes them guilty of the same alleged hypocrisy that they accuse others of. A true neutralist never speaks a single word for or against. Probe; don't parrot.

The detective story differs from every other story in this: that the reader is only happy if he feels a fool. At the end of more philosophic works he may wish to feel a philosopher. But the former view of himself may be more wholesome—and more correct.

The problem with contemporary Christian praise and worship is that its object defies the very thing it claims to be doing. They are songs of a desperate man denying himself the right to his God. There was a time when we used to know the object of worship when both congregation and choir sang facing the Icon. Instead of offering his veneration to his God through hymns the contemporary man offers himself the comfort of an experience through the musicians onstage. Bach trounces the modern church any day in the retelling of God's amazing grace.

"Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell."

Rather than thinking aright, we throw in the towel too quick and decide nothing's ever true in its own right, and on that account saw off the branch we ourselves are sitting on. The real human progress lies not in moral relativism, but in recognizing what's universally true and beautiful, and practising it.

Not many years from now, Michael Jackson will surely join the ranks of Sasquatch, UFOs, and Elvis Presley as we hear about rumoured sightings of him. Maybe we shall finally relate to Elvismaniacs of our parents' generation who believed he was still alive long after he was gone.

I no longer know who I am. Just who I want to become. And it's a helluva job getting there.

All writers live with some kind of alter ego. You can't write and have a life at the same time.

There's no magic in writing. Only discipline and a stoic patience to wait the good stuff out.

A man is most miserable when he is finally acquainted with the truth. For he now sees what he wants and the shackles that inhibit him from attaining it.
