The extent of creativity to which I admire in an individual is his ability to be richly creative while still, in a way, telling the truth. It is the fool who creates only his own lies, and the bore who simply repeats what he is told.

Some things are so silly they have a certain brilliance to them. Other things, set as standards for brilliance and therefore exalted by many who don't know why, become tarnished because of it.

Don't be fooled by those with some smarts in mockery. Some are forced into wit because they're always wrong.

A god who gave us everything we wanted would be the most malevolent god of all. With an infantile curiosity, we insist on tasting the cockroach on the floor while our father is preparing a magnificent feast for us.

I imagine that the intelligent people are the ones so intelligent that they don't even need or want to look 'intelligent' anymore.

Trying to be offensive for the sole purpose of being offensive should always deem one the least offensive of offenders.

If we all knew who God really was and what he really wanted for each and every one of us, we would all know that only a fool could really deny him.
