Follow your passions, believe in karma, and you won't have to chase your dreams, they will come to you.

it make no sense to talk about rights without also talking about responsibilities

Anything is possible, and that’s something we should not lose sight of. The inspiration and the permission to dream is huge.

If you can find an opening, you can probably find a way to float through it.

Follow your passions, believe in karma, and you won't have to chase your dreams, they will come to you.

I don't believe in the no-win scenario

I understand the arguments about how the billions of dollars spent to put men on the moon could have been used to fight poverty and hunger on Earth. But, look, I'm a scientist who sees inspiration as the ultimate tool for doing good. When you use money to fight poverty, it can be of great value, but too often, you're working at the margins. When you're putting people on the moon, you're inspiring all of us to achieve the maximum of human potential, which is how our greatest problems will eventually be solved. Give yourself permission to dream.
