The thing about lucid dreams is that it's not like the real world where you are constrained by all sorts of things, including the laws of physics - you can do magic.

It will be in the convergence of evolutionary biology, developmental biology and cancer biology that the answer to cancer will lie. Nor will this confluence be a one-way street.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!

So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.

When I think of God I feel like an ant crawling into a computer.

Yes, I-- I think I love her. Is that nuts?

All that you really want in life is to change how you feel.

Without theory we can only copy.
