“I don't combine proteins and carbohydrates.”
“Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.”
“There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all?”
“You do what you have to do to give people closure; it makes them feel better and it doesn't cost you much to do it. I'd rather apologize for something I didn't really care about and leave someone on Earth wishing me well.”
“We don't have a clue what it is to be male or female, or if there are intermediate genders. Male and female might be fields which overlap into androgyny or different kinds of sexual desires.

“It must be that people who read go on more macrocosmic and microcosmic trips â€“ biblical god trips, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Ulysses, Finneganâ€™s Wake trips. Non-readers, what do they get? (They get the munchies.)”
“Yes, I took a remedial algebra course in college. I struggled in math in high school and didnâ€™t have confidence to plunge in with a for-credit algebra course. The remedial course gave me a lot of confidence so that when I took the for-credit algebra course it was fairly easy and I got a â€˜B,â€™ of which I remain proud today!”
