I'd like to meet:

******"The bait is the means to get the fish where you want it, catch the fish and you forget the bait. The snare is the means to get the rabbit where you want it, catch the rabbit and forget the snare. Words are the means to get the idea where you want it, catch on to the idea and you forget about the words. Where shall I find a man who forgets about words, and have a word with him?" -Chuang Tzu*********And everyones favorite physicist: Stephen HawkingLarry King: "Do you believe in God?" Stephen Hawking: "Yes, if by God is meant the embodiment of the laws of the universe." Larry King Live, December 25, 1999**********************Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, when asked how the world might have changed, Dawkins responded:"Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that. Revealed faith is not harmless nonsense, it can be lethally dangerous nonsense. Dangerous because it gives people unshakeable confidence in their own righteousness. Dangerous because it gives them false courage to kill themselves, which automatically removes normal barriers to killing others. Dangerous because it teaches enmity to others labelled only by a difference of inherited tradition. And dangerous because we have all bought into a weird respect, which uniquely protects religion from normal criticism. Let's now stop being so damned respectful!" **Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart
