Reason well from the beginning and then there will never be any need to look back with confusion and doubt. -The Dalai Lama

Books:

Some people say, "How can you live without knowing?" I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know. -Richard Feynman

Heroes:

Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool. -Richard Feynman
