I Am Who I Am; No More,

We All Can Be Only Who We Are, No More, No Less.

The Only Sovereign I Can Allow To Rule Me Is Reason. The First Law Of Reason Is This: What Exists Exists; What Is Is. From This Irreducible, Bedrock Principle, All Knowledge Is Built. This Is The Foundation From Which Life Is Embraced. Reason Is A Choice. Wishes And Whims Are Not Facts, Nor Are They A Means To Discovering Them. Reason Is Our Only Way Of Grasping Reality–it Is Our Basic Tool Of Survival. We Are Free To Evade The Effort Of Thinking, To Reject Reason, But We Are Not Free To Avoid The Penalty Of The Abyss We Refuse To See." -richard

I Often Hear People Say That They Read To Escape Reality, But I Believe That What They’re Really Doing Is Reading To Find Reason For Hope, To Find Strength. While A Bad Book Leaves Readers With A Sense Of Hopelessness And Despair, A Good Novel, Through Stories Of Values Realized, Of Wrongs Righted, Can Bring To Readers A Connection To The Wonder Of Life. A Good Novel Shows How Life Can And Ought To Be Lived. It Not Only Entertains But Energizes And Uplifts Readers.

When You're The Leader, Everything Is Your Fault.

I Don't Think I Could Have Written What I Did Any Earlier.
