“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.”

“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.”
