I Am Not One Who Was Born In The Possession Of

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.”

“Perhaps the hopes I have confessed to are of an illusory nature, too. But I hold fast to one distinction. Apart from the fact that no penalty is imposed for not sharing them, my illusions are not, like religious ones, incapable of correction.”

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
