In the temple of science are many mansions, and various indeed are they that dwell therein and the motives that have led them thither.

Each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own.

When I'm judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way.

I am a stronger follower of Veganism by principle, not just because of moral and aesthetic reasons. I truly believe in a Vegetarian lifestyle and I have faith and hopes in change in human destiny, thanks to the physical effects and benefits of a healthier diet and its influence on the character of the people. It will bring about some benefit and improvement to human society.
