Tags: Doses, Paranoia, SkillI do sometimes watch 'Dr. Who' and while the stories barely make sense, if at all, the doctor is such great company I don't care.
Tags: Care, Great, SometimesWeekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.
Tags: Bit, Distance, GoodI get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it.
Tags: Drunk, Words, WritingI'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.
Tags: Heavy, Social, WritingI'm not quite pompous enough to think of myself as an educator or a man capable of definitive refutation of falsehoods.
Tags: Capable, Enough, QuiteI'm trying to trick people into thinking about the unthinkable by using pop culture images.
Tags: Culture, Thinking, TryingPeople in extreme conditions are suddenly naked, realer than normal, perhaps even more alive.
Tags: Alive, Normal, PerhapsI do try to be of some use in the world. I sometimes do volunteer work with kids, and manage to help some people a little, but really making a significant difference can be hard.
Tags: Hard, Help, WorkLabels only confuse people. The smarter people recognize artists who transcend categories. But I always try to entertain. It's in my nature; writers are born to entertain. If that means working ostensibly within a genre, fine.
Tags: Nature, Try, WorkingMy purpose is to inspire people of all walks of life to discover the virtue inherent within them and to bring forth that virtue in their daily lives.
Tags: Daily, Life, PurposeWords alone cannot fully convey the realities of the soul or the greatness of the human spirit.
Tags: Alone, Human, WordsI am of opinion that it is highly requisite forthwith to pass a law, prohibiting upon great penalties all trade with our enemies, and more especially the supplying of them with arms, ammunition or provisions of any kind whatsoever.
Tags: Great, Law, OpinionI don't flatter myself with much dependence upon the present disposition of the Eastern Indians, who are many ways liable to be drawn into a rupture with us by the artifices of the French, their own weakness and the influence which the French Missionary Priests have over them.
