You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction.

In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.

It's always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists, or anyone else actually has paid to humor.

I think there is a danger with young people of being dependent in the sense that they don't acquire any identity or self-image of themselves as thinkers.

You hold onto religion, you know, rules, regulations, traditions. I think what God is interested in is people's hearts, and that's hard enough.

Don't criticise a hypothesis, come up with a better one.
