- How can you believe in God? Have you seen your God? - I haven't actually seen God. But I have performed many brain surgeries, and when I opened the skull, I never saw a mind in there either. And I never found a conscience there either.

Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky)

Charlie Brooker

Humphry Davy

Thomas Jefferson

You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.
