"I am blind and limited. I would be a fool think myself wise. And so, not knowing what the universe means, I can only try to be responsible with the knowledge, the strength, and the time given to me. I must be true to my heart."

"Apocalypse is a frame of mind."[Nicodemus] said then. "A belief. A surrender to inevitability. It is a despair for the future. It is the death of hope."
"I wouldn't burden any decent system of faith by participating in it... I'm not agnostic. Just nonpartisan. Theological Switzerland, that's me."
