Economics is not brain surgery.

There is a tendency of people to try to make you believe only a few people are smart. As a brain surgeon, I know better than that.

As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I frequently faced life and death situations, and had to come up with the right diagnosis, the right plan, and execute that plan frequently with other colleagues.

It does not matter where we come from or what we look like. If we recognize our abilities, are willing to learn and to use what we know in helping others, we will always have a place in the world.

A good surgeon doesn't just concentrate on technical ability, but also on the appropriateness of what you're doing.

Uninformed people can be easily manipulated.

Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.

God has given to every one of us more than fourteen billion cells and connections in our brain. Now why would God give us such a complex organ system unless He expects us to use it?

Everyone in the world worth being nice to. Because God never creates inferior human beings, each person deserves respect and dignity.

Education does not necessarily make one wise?

Home is home.

I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.

You know, I'm really bad on the computer. I'm really lame, man. I read and hang out with my kids. I've turned into a five year old.

I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot.

What goes on inside is just too fast and huge and all interconnected for words to do more than barely sketch the outlines of at most one tiny little part of it at any given instant.

I was a little bit chubby when I was a kid.

I love hugging people. If they are happy, I'm happy too.

I love being challenged physically, as an actress.

If you could get rid of yourself just once, the secret of secrets would open to you. The face of the unknown, hidden beyond the universe would appear on the mirror of your perception.

In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.
