Any doctrine or belief system that relies on fear and threats to advance its agenda is ultimately detrimental to the human race.

Most of us have to enter and play in the box before we can think outside of it. Brilliance and genius are found in the act of escaping from the confinements of structure.

I'm sure we would not have had men on the Moon if it had not been for Wells and Verne and the people who write about this and made people think about it. I'm rather proud of the fact that I know several astronauts who became astronauts through reading my books.

Ask a deeply religious Christian if he’d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don’t seem so bad lately.

If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

A recent acquaintance told me never to date ballerina's or models; he said "Date nurses instead." "...you see, unlike the former, nurses UNDERSTAND the needs of the flesh."
So I'm looking for an ex-model/ballerina nurse. :)

From now on, I will occasionally post what I would describe as a
"Chunk of wisdom." They will often be famous quotes and when possible
(when I remember who said it) I will credit the author. Often this will
be paraphrased or will have an added personal twist. Other times it
will be a cautionary tale or an epiphany I just had.
