The mind, of course, is just what the brain does for a living.

We look harder for flaws in a study when we don't agree with its conclusions.

The conscious act of thinking about one's thoughts in a different way changes the very brain circuits that do that thinking.

Arguing, after all, is less about seeking truth than about overcoming opposing views.

Like sand on the beach, the brain bears the footprints of the decisions we have made, the skills we have learned, the actions we have taken.

With modern parts atop old ones, the brain is like an iPod built around an eight-track cassette player.

We hope for the future, then we reach for the past.

I get such joy from singing- it's good for the soul.

I had to wait for a long time before I could support myself with writing. However, being a writer is what I have most wanted to be, from the time I was a child.

The philosophy of waiting is sustained by all the oracles of the universe.

It's great to be in the position of asking questions and not having to answer questions.

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
