The Broken God

Poems are the dreams of the universe crystallized in words. (p296)
"What is a human being, then?" ... "A seed." "A … seed?" "An acorn that is unafraid to destroy itself in growing into a tree." (p236)
The true human being...is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star. He is the exploding singularity pregnant with infinite possibilities. (p236)
A man lusts to become a god...and there is murder. Murder upon murder upon murder. Why is the world of men nothing but murder? (p278)
In time, the heart of each religion grows hard and dies. And so seekers of the godly will always turn to new prophets and new ways, never realizing that, ultimately, all religions separate man from God. (p481)
Faith - what is this emotion but a desperate attempt to escape from mind-burning fear? (p424)
