In times of uncertainty - whether it’s economic, psychological, emotional, or philosophical - people often say that the only thing we can truly control is our attitudes.

The answers lie in not just hard science or philosophical rhetoric but in experiments of the imagination as well. Human perspective must be re-examined through an almost whimsical fount of imagination of species, magic, and clear creative thinking. (Philosophical Quotes)
Conscience is the most dangerous thing you possess. If you wake it up, it may destroy you. To live a life of total moral rigor is not necessarily the way to go. It’s the path for very few people.

(Philosophical Quotes)

(Philosophical Quotes)
I don’t really get philosophical, but I believe that nice people are strong and usually in my horror stories, I don’t like to write about the old standard where some rotten guy gets chased by a mean spirit that gets him in the end.I’d rather write about nice people that are menaced from outside by some sort of evil power and who sort of slug it out.
