Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesnโt know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence -ยญ- evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesnโt get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesnโt hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition.
Ricky GervaisJust because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. Some people are offended by mixed marriage, gay people, atheism. So what? F*** 'em.
Ricky GervaisIt's a privilege to be in such a great category of people and... I don't believe in God, so I'd like to thank dogs. Dogs have given me everything.
Ricky GervaisIt breaks your heart when you throw something away, but it's what left that counts. It's like worrying about the bits of rock you have knocked off in order to make a beautiful statue. You've wasted half the rock, yeah, but it's the Venus di Milo!
Ricky GervaisThe truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.
Ricky GervaisWhat is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? Itโs the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasnโt when I increased profits by 17%, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went โMr. Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?โ. Didnโt happen in the end. We had to let him go, he was rubbish. He was rubbish!
