As I read more and I got into philosophy and met a lot of friends who weren't Christians, it became difficult for me to sustain the belief structure in the supernatural.

The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.

I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.

I don't like to pretend I was guided in any way by the supernatural world, but the more you talk about that, the easier it is to dismiss those notions.

The greatest question of all is whether our experience on this planet is 'it' or whether there is something else. Things in the supernatural realm give support, strangely perhaps, to the things we take on faith.

When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say.

In every religion there is an element of the supernatural, varying with the influence of pure reason over its devotees.

And, of course, supernatural elements just make a story more interesting.

Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination.

When I'm writing books, something weird happens; and the result is the books contain a large amount of what you could call 'supernaturalism.' As a writer, I find I need that to explain the world I'm writing about.
