I had never heard of 'young adult novels,' which I guess are about teenage gangs and the new boy in town or something.

There must be times when people look in the mirror and they realize they're 60.

I think I'm a terrible researcher. I find it very boring and frustrating, but the things you can find are better than what I could imagine. And when you find them, it's wonderful, and they don't feel artificial.

I think, like, fiction has a place to understand those things that are hardest to understand that non-fiction can't ever get at.

Imagine how many women could excel in science if not for the pernicious myth that science and math are a man's game. Likewise, fitness isn't defined by the Arnold Schwarzeneggers of the world.

I was really lost for a while in my teens. I was angry. But when I found music - Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell - it was a new discovery. It was a door to this other world where I wanted to be.

I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we're, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality.

As a general rule, biology tends to be conservative. It's rare that evolution 'invents' the same process several times.
