There are always wonderful mysteries to confront.

I spent my adult life as a scientist, and science is, essentially, the most successful approach we have to try and understand the vast mysteries around.

I always bounce my legs when I'm sitting.

What has always surprised me when I walk into a bookstore is the number of books that you can find that are written with certainty. The authors tell some story as though it's true, but they don't have any evidence that it is true!

Since we live in the heads of those who remember us, we lose control of our lives and become who they want us to be.

Part of the scientific temperament is this tolerance for holding multiple hypotheses in mind at the same time.
