"I claim neither liberalism nor conservatism - one tends to be airheaded while the other tends to be brickheaded."

"Have nuts and be nuts."

"It's neither judgment nor judgment according to the status quo that we have a problem with, but rather judgment according to God's Word that we have a problem with. We sharply dress ourselves, go out into the world, shape ourselves, our personalities according to the world's standards and preferences, allow ourselves to be made dull by the world and its desires in order to appear successful and happy and attractive in the eyes of the world. We love the world's judgment but we hate God's judgment. Absurdly enough, the one that really matters, the one out of the purest of loves rather than a mere contract in hopes of mutual gain, is the one which we so adamantly try to shut ourselves off from."

"When your only regret is if anyone thinks you regret anything - that is the definition of conviction."

"You ask me why I don't speak Not a word at will But write so much worth well over a mill'Well I value words like I value kisses A sober one, a closer one penetrates the heart Darling it's how it mends it"

"Oh I know it's cliché but yeah they say that great men make it in-To places few others who even do take the risk've ever been"

"I've come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I'm just 'being', and without question, by default, it works."

"A steampunk nation Baby pollution rises up then the loving comes arraigning 'cause Our art's official and only partially artificial And our heart's in the middle of sharp hardened shards of metal but There's not where it settles Because it's beating to the steaming of God's hottest pot or kettle And now we face it, this creation we made to To save our craving for a synthetic rebelnation it's Our safeway they make into a pathetic revelation In our steampunk nation Our steampunk nation"

"When you mature in your relationship with God you realize how suffering and patience are like eating your spiritual vegetables."

"Great minds think alike because a greater Mind is thinking through them."

"Every time I create something, whether an idea or a work of art, initially, its supposed completion seems absolutely perfect to me. However the more I think about it, stare it down, the more it marinates in my soul over the hours, days, and weeks, the more flaws I start to find in it; and finally, the more I'm pressed to continue enhancing it. It essentially turns out that whatever thing a flawed and imperfect, human eye once thought was amazing begins to appear quite wretched. This is why, eternally, God cannot be impressed by mere talents or by mortal achievements. To perfect eyes, I imagine that great is not really that great; rather, humility is ultimately a human being's true greatness."

"From time to time I once wondered how one wanders from time to time And think up the paradox line Speak of Epoch's crime Oh I lied, it hasn't happened yet But bet you better believe it's such a habit that I just said that in a past mindset"

"If it's true what is said, that only the wise discover the wise, then it must also be true that the lone wolf symbolizes either the biggest fool on the planet or the biggest Einstein on the planet."

"Cleverness isn't always true nor is the truth always clever."

"You can't let the truth bring out the worst and let it get the best of you."

"With a philosophy education, one can infuriate his peers, intimidate his date, think of obscure, unreliable ways to make money, and never regret a thing."

"A sign of a lover of wisdom is his delight in not running his mouth about things he doesn't know."

"When you're the only sane person, you look like the only insane person."

"Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out."
