Man has always sought to be a part of something larger than himself, and so has tried to change himself in order to fit in. What he does not realize is that he is a part of everything merely by being himself.
James RozoffI pity the atheist, for he can never fully appreciate a sinful pleasure.
James RozoffVulgarity is like a fine wine: it should only be uncorked on a special occasion, and then only shared with the right group of people.

Science is the process of obscuring the marvelous with explanations.
James RozoffStichwörter: science
People today are used to seeing not only the incredible but the impossible as well, all provided by the mega-pixel. We witness miracles and dismiss them as diversions. The line between reality and fantasy has been blurred to the point that we no longer know what it is we see, and so put little faith in the experience. And there is no darkness anymore, no place for things like mystery and magic to make their abode. There is nothing nowadays that is not exposed, caught on camera and pixilated to be stored and classified forever in some phantom zone called cyber space. Nothing is too small to remain unseen by our microscopes or too far away to be seen by our satellites. The world is a strumpet, every inch of her exposed and explored. Whether she is thrusting herself into the camera's gaze, or we as voyeurs intrude upon her most intimate moments, nothing is left to the imagination. The world today is all light and no darkness. But too much light can blind. An excess of it deprives our eyes from the necessary contrast required to give definition to what we see. The light precludes magic, gives us explanations in its place. It denies love and informs us of the chemicals in the brain that are active given certain conditions. We have gained knowledge but in the process we have been forced to surrender the very reasons we sought knowledge in the first place.
James RozoffEvery man is ultimately groping in the dark, believing he has some understanding. Perhaps it is better thus. Perhaps we would go mad to realize what a thin skein of atmosphere protects us from the emptiness of outer space, what a thin layer of reason protects us from a reality far beyond our comprehension.
James RozoffStichwörter: knowledge
When you’ve known somebody since childhood, you never have to worry about them seeing the child that still exists inside of you. They’ve already seen it. And since they still know and associate with you, it means they accept that child inside you that is never really going to go away.
James RozoffA thousand truths can be assembled in such a way as to create a colossal lie.
James RozoffStichwörter: truth
Security is an illusion, but it is a pleasant one.
