when I wrestled, I would set aside the time to wrestle, so that in my mind it didn't interfere with my study time. That helped me psychologically. When I'm wrestling, I'm not studying the universe. And when I'm studying the universe, I'm not wrestling.

I am convinced that the act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody's easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method.

When I would lose matches, I fully respected the person who beat me, because they beat me. I can't blame anybody.

Never presume that just because you disagree with an idea that you must be correct.

Odd how often blood is shed to obtain freedom from those in power. Oppressors must be the most insecure people in the world.

When I was a kid, I thought that if everyone looked up the way I did then everyone would want to study the universe just like me - how could they not? This naiveté is what tells me that my interest was more a calling than a rational comparative assessment about what to be when I grew up.

It's part of our pop culture to give animals human personalities and talents.
