• To cover politics in Washington allows you to live in the very, very wide gap between what the actual truth is, and how people are trying to manipulate the truth.

• Years ago I read an interview with Paula Fox in which she said that in writing, truth is just as important as story. Reading that interview was the first time I really understood that there's no point in trying to impress people with my cleverness when I can just try to write honestly about what matters most to me.

• God is real. God is here now. God is this moment revealed. For the most part, we are lost in the past and future world of the mind.

Otherwise we have no choice but to believe in God or disbelieve in God and neither is true, for the truth is beyond belief!

• The truth is I've just never had any kind of plan at all for my career, which is probably not a very flattering thing to admit. I don't know that I'd ever planned to be in this situation.
