Everything in science is interrelated.

The most enjoyable story is our own. If you’re not enjoying it, you haven’t learned.

What you cannot give is not yours.

Scolding is easy, but it is very difficult to appreciate.

Overt, obvious, apparent, prominent, declarative, explicit, clear, evident, vacant, naked and obscene. Here you go! They’re all open. Get out if you can!

Science is a collection of collective data.

Although not every philosopher is a physician, every good physician is a philosopher. As a matter of fact, the way to be a good doctor is to be a good philosopher.
