Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
The willingness to die for another person is a form of love that even religions fail to inspire, and the experience of it changes a person profoundly. What the Army sociologists, with their clipboards and their questions and their endless meta-analyses, slowly came to understand was that courage was love. In war, neither could exist without the other, and that in a sense they were just different ways of saying the same thing.
There is a place inside each of us where perfection exists.
The genius, God, lives there. All the creative possibilities of the universe are to be found there. It is the innate ability of each of us to be God, to behave with extreme dignity, to conduct our business in a righteous manner, and to channel an endless stream of life-enhancing ideas and celebratory sounds for the upliftment of mankind.

NICOLAS CAGE: Well, I see it very much as a performance. My own feelings about death are almost Japanese in thinking. There is a samurai philosophy that you have to earn your right to die. Death has always been sort of a friend to me, because I’ve never ignored the fact that it’s going to happen, I’m very accepting of it. It’s always been something that I wear on my shoulder that says, “Get to work, because you only have so much time.”
