"Ralph Nimmo carecía de título universitario y se enorgullecía de ello. -Un título [...] es el primer paso de un recorrido calamitoso. Como no quieres desperdiciarlo, pasas al trabajo de graduado y a la investigación doctoral. Terminas por ser un absoluto ignorante de todo, excepto en tu estrechísima especialidad."

"Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in."
"If a conclusion is not poetically balanced, it cannot be scientifically true."
"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome."
"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."
