We pretend that the brain is binary, like a computer. But it's not. It's completely holographic.

If all I did was pretend I was Wilderness Jimmy, I would go stale. You know, I fish maybe 100 days of the year and bird-hunt, but if I didn't go to Paris once or twice a year, I'd be crazy.

I write novellas because I don't like loose sprawling prose.

I always just pretend they're all cheering for me.

One way to compensate for a tiny brain is to pretend to be dead

The human brain works as a binary computer and can only analyze the exact information-based zeros and ones (or black and white). Our heart is more like a chemical computer that uses fuzzy logic to analyze information that can't be easily defined in zeros and ones.
