The Virgin Birth is possible if there is a God. An Omnipotent Being who can do all things and yet cannot do some things is hardly worth our attack or defence.

Sometimes it is a great joy just to listen to someone we love talking.

We shall seek first to tell the truth rather than to study the subtle art of adjusting it to the circumstances of time and person.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

The only thing that might have annoyed some mathematicians was the presumption of assuming that maybe the axiom of choice could fail, and that we should look into contrary assumptions.
