Finding peace in the not knowing seems strangely more righteous than the peace that comes from knowing.
S1 E4Plato's Cave
I can see and feel God in all things.
Like Thomas Aquinas.
I don't know much about him.
He felt that God revealed himself in nature.
Yes, yes, that's what I feel, in a sense.
He believed that supernatural revelation is faith, and natural revelation is reason, and the two are not contradictory, but complementary.
Could you ever accept Christ into your heart?
I don't think Buddha would mind making room, or Confucius. Nietzsche might grumble.
It does something to you, not to be touched in any positive way for so long. You begin to vacillate between being repelled by touch, and seeking it out in any form, even the most negative.
I'm so sorry.
Out here, you... you're the only touch that soothed me.

SThe Stranger
Hey, I know you. So, where you headed?
I don't know. I'm not sure.
SThe Stranger
Not all who wander are lost. Yeah. If you get things figured out, you reckon you could help me with a little chore?
I don't mind.
SThe Stranger
Can-do attitude...
It's weird, isn't it?
What is?
That I know exactly when I gonna die.
It's very sad, Kerwin.
It has it's pluses. You can grieve your own death.
SThe Stranger
It's the beauty that hurts you most, son, not the ugly.

I don't buy your lost soul act for a minute. You don't want to get right with God, you want to get right with my wife. Right in bed with her.
So what do we do, call the men in white coats? Are there still men in white coats?
I hope not.
What about the men in white hats?
They never existed.
Deep down you're darker than I am, mother. Admit it.
I don't think I want to do that, Amantha.
Well, I guess we just wait then.
I think so. He'll be...
Up.
I'm gonna start finishing my own sentences.
Please mother, don't take away one of my few pleasures.
S1 E6Jacob's Ladder
CChet
I just like to have something to balance out the farce, you know?
I think farcing may be sadder.
CChet
God, you're right, it's all sad.
And farcical.
It shocked me to find you here. You know, just not used to contemplating all the variables one might encounter. I mean, there were variables inside, but it wasn't like out here, where it's... you know, if you don't have the years of experiences, if there isn't the repetition of everyday living to make things mundane, because mundane is calming and soothing, mundane isn't out of the ordinary. And when everything is out of the ordinary, it can be too much sometimes, you know? Like finding you behind this door, when I didn't even consider there could be somebody else behind this door but my sister. Your mind puts it together, of course, but even just the door opening is still very unreal.
You're elusive, Chet.
CChet
That's an under-appreciated skill.
So it can be developed?
CChet
I think so. Probably helps to have a little bit of a knack for it first.
Did you jump the gun?
Don't I always?
No. You usually face the gun, Amantha. You always have, ever since you were a child.
You doing okay? With things?
I don't think so, Jon. I don't think so.
That's not... that's normal.
What is?
Not doing okay - considering everything.
