I believe the biggest themes of life are put into the best focus when held up against the very sharp light of mortality.
True worth is in being, not seeming
There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.
True worth is in being, not seeming- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.
Even for the dead I will not bind my soul to grief, death cannot long divide; for is it not as if the rose that climbed my garden wall had bloomed the other side?
Every life is meant to help all lives; each man should live for all men's betterment.
How many lives we live in one, And how much less than one, in all.
Oddly, I think if you look at comic books, you look at the shelves in the store, it's predominantly male characters, historically. But if you look outside the window it's 52-percent female, and something odd is going on there. So I do think it's your responsibility as a writer, really, to create stuff that little girls can get into too. I want my daughters to have role models that are female.
It's a big theme in my life, learning about myself and being a better person. I'm a work in progress; I have revelations every day.
There's no such thing, of course, as an old-fashioned gay guy. They're the most decadent people.
Just as when spring comes, Nature celebrates, When Navaratri comes, the Spirit celebrates.
