I like the stars.

I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend...

    All things in all universes move according to law, and the law which regulates the movement of the planets is no more immutable than the law which regulates the material expressions of man :)

    I read that his family is into Scientology, but that he's agnostic... I like him all the more.
