Instinct is a marvelous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.
Today when I begin writing I’m aware: something that I don’t understand drives this engine.
Nature! We live in her midst and know her not. She is incessantly speaking to us, but betrays not her secret. We constantly act upon her, and yet have no power over her. Variant: NATURE! We are surrounded and embraced by her: powerless to separate ourselves from her, and powerless to penetrate beyond her.
I have a pretty open mind about supernatural stuff - I do believe that there's more to this world than what meets the eye.
I think having an open mind about these things is probably the most important thing, because even though I've never had an experience of the supernatural, something I couldn't explain.
God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.
Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.
I think it's frightening for all of us to contemplate that there's more to the universe than just us, in whatever form it takes, that there are higher forces at work, and to me, that's always a scary notion.
I think fear of the unknown is the scariest thing.
You go, dark energy! Go on, dark matter. They don't understand you, dark matter. They don't get you.
We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces.
I am probably spiritual in the sense that I do believe there is more to life than what we see.
We cannot predict the new forces, powers, and discoveries that will be disclosed to us when we reach the other planets and set up new laboratories in space. They are as much beyond our vision today as fire or electricity would be beyond the imagination of a fish.
Where there is mystery there is power.
There's a lot that's not explained about the universe. And psychic-ness is not stranger than that.
Supernatural perhaps...baloney, perhaps not!
The unknown ... became for our primitive forefathers a terrible and omnipotent source of boons and calamities visited upon mankind for cryptic and wholly extra-terrestrial reasons, and thus clearly belonging to spheres of existence whereof we know nothing and wherein we have no part.
The New York Times' was enigmatic: 'Some unimaginable gravitational force is pulling our entire galaxy in the opposite direction.' End of article. If you stop and think about that, we are recreating ourselves.
All of my writing career is about how human beings negotiate dark matter.
Just as primitive man believed himself to stand face to face with demons and believed that could he but know their names he would become their master, so is contemporary man faced by this incomprehensible, which disorders his calculations.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
Nobody knows much about women, not even Freud, not even women themselves. But it's like electricity: you don't need to know how it works to get a shock on the fingers.
I think on some level, all of us have a little bit of belief in the possibility of different energies and forces and things like that. Otherwise, we wouldn't be afraid of them. Or there wouldn't be so many movies about them.
What's done we partly may compute, But know not what's resisted.
We are often told by our friends and family members to not go to a particular place owing to some unkown energies that might have existed there, making us form superstitions in our mind.
