I have very healthy strong relationships with women.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

I know quite a few farmers all over the United States who have tried this and have said the opposite, that they have to use more herbicides, not less. The same holds true with BT.

A liberated Internet will continue to be a reality in your life (and in the lives of your children) if rules like Net Neutrality are in place.

There is an ecstatic mechanism in birds that makes them fly upwards in spite of worms.

A symbol may serve to transfer our intuitions and to suggest new ones only so long as its meaning is not defined.
