I'd always been interested in psychology.

What tipped the scales was that psychology involved working with rats.

It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.

If you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can't wait until you're sixty-five.

It’s natural to die. The fact that we make such a big hullabaloo over it is all because we don’t see ourselves as part of nature. We think because we’re human we’re something above nature.

We have a sense that we should be like the mythical cowboy... able to take on and conquer anything and live in the world without the need for other people.
