Can our mind evolve to be something other than an extension of our animal needs?

Doing heroin is like walking around with a terrorist as your friend. It's like taking a terrorist around to parties You never know when it's going to blow up on you.

The British press can be so annoying. They jerk you off with one hand and smack you with the other.

I'm just going to try and be a good dad and not spoil the kid: give him love and encouragement but also discipline. Me and my woman, we don't want him to feel too entitled.
