The truth is, bad things don't affect us as profoundly as we expect them to. That's true of good things, too. We adapt very quickly to either.

Impact is rewarding. Mattering makes us happy.

Arthritic toothless people who love orgasms are more likely to reproduce than are limber, toothy people who do not.

The secret of happiness is variety, but the secret of variety, like the secret of all spices, is knowing when to use it.

I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I'm so blessed, it's almost scary. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh.

Our brain accepts what the eyes see and our eye looks for whatever our brain wants.

In short, if we adhere to the standard of perfection in all our endeavors, we are left with nothing but mathematics and the White Album.
