I don't deny the importance of genetics. However, the fact that I might be altruistic isn't because I have a gene for altruism; the fact that I do something for my children at some cost to myself comes from a history that has operated on me.

Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything.

When you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.

I won't say that I'm an agnostic, since agnosticism maintains that one cannot know... but I'm not averse to the idea of some intelligence or some organizing force that set up the initial conditions of the universe in such a way that ultimately generated stars, planets and life.

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!
