"For the human experience, life in the natural world seems to require the application of meaning, in order to evoke purpose."
"To those at the great house it means nothing, this handful of earth, but to me it means how much!' (Buck, 57)"
"If you cannot create a meaning, the things you see will always look meaningless to you!"
"Be sure that you go to the author to get at his meaning, not to find yours."
"Meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and is therefore equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable--perhaps everything....

"I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief... I'm not in the business of offending people. I find the books upholding certain values that I think are important, such as life is immensely valuable and this world is an extraordinarily beautiful place. We should do what we can to increase the amount of wisdom in the world."
"He let her do it, then looked around for his fingers. There they were, curled like a bloody quotation mark on the lead. He laughed."
"When you stopped believing in God,' he went on, 'did you stop believing in good and evil?''No. But I stopped believing there was a power of good and a power of evil that were outside us. And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are. All we can say is that this is a good deed, because it helps someone, or that's an evil one, because it hurts them. People are too complicated to have simple labels."
