I think it's interesting when people say to me, i can't believe in god because i've never seen him or seen proof of him. And i wonder, how in the world do you believe in love or in peace or in justice, because human history violates all those ideals. That the greatest stories in the world should actually carry the greatest ideas that exist within us right now.
