We are now operating a school system in America that's more segregated than at any time since the death of Martin Luther King.

In my solitude I have pondered much on the incomprehensible subjects of space, eternity, life and death.

It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.

The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.

Death Valley is really wide-open - it's bigger than Rhode Island - and it's less a part of California than an ungoverned territory, so there's lots of weird cops-and-robbers stuff going on.
