You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.

You must never be afraid to go there.

Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that's horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it's nothing. It's just bibble-babble. It's like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks.

People don't die from the old diseases any more. They die from new ones, but that's Progress, isn't it? Isn't it?

The real name for 'science' is magic.
