One of the strongest feelings you can get in life--one of the most rewarding feelings--is the feeling of an Aha, I finally understand.

I've never revved my car at a light for an attractive woman or an auto-rival, not even as a joke.

This I believe: I believe there is no God.

I like to read in the dark. I like to go into the bathtub, turn out all the lights, and in the dark, read my books.

Two things have always been true about human beings. One, the world is always getting better. Two, the people living at that time think it's getting worse.

I believe in individual rights so much that I don't like any sort of 'what's good for the cause'-type questions.
