That’s when I first learned that it wasn’t enough to just do your job, you had to have an interest in it, even a passion for it.
“Jus’ remember, Lover Boy,” she said, “be nice to everybody you pass on your way up, coz you just might have to pass them again on your way down.”

“Science is the antithesis of faith,” Kirsch continued. “Science, by definition, is the attempt to find physical proof for that which is unknown or not yet defined, and to reject superstition and misperception in favor of observable facts. When science offers an answer, that answer is universal. Humans do not go to war over it; they rally around it.”

“You cannot avoid the interplay of politics within an orthodox religion. This power struggle permeates the training, educating and disciplining of the orthodox community. Because of this pressure, the leaders of such a community inevitably must face that ultimate internal question: to succumb to complete opportunism as the price of maintaining their rule, or risk sacrificing themselves for the sake of the orthodox ethic.”

“Does it matter to you how I feel?
Not exactly, sweetheart - feelings are seventh on my list. Food. Shelter. Security. Intelligence. Strength. Productivity.
First and foremost, I care that you eat, everyday. Second, I care that you have somewhere to live; third, I care that you're safe. Fourth, I care that you are intelligent, and your mind is trained to solve the problems of your life. Fifth, I care that you're strong, because the world is hard. And sixth, I care that you're productive - I want you to contribute to the human family. And I believe that if you have all of those things, they will add up to you feeling great. I believe that if I take care of one through six, number seven will take care of itself.”
