“Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.”

“Voltaire made up his mind to destroy the superstition of his time. He fought with every weapon that genius could devise or use. He was the greatest of all caricaturists, and he used this wonderful gift without mercy.”

“The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.”

“The sacred books of all the world are worthless dross and common stones compared with Shakespeare's glittering gold and gleaming gems.”

“Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.”

“You shouldn't be afraid of failure - when something fails, you think, 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed.”

“Without risk you can't experience life. There have to be risks, physically and mentally, taken by everyone.”
