“For me, it goes without saying that much of the dogma of many religions is harmful. Thinking other people will burn forever because they love the wrong person or worship the wrong god has done a whole lot of bad.
What I wanted was the part where people were asked to get together once a week to talk about how to be a good person and, like, hang out with their neighbors. It's pretty amazing that apparently the only way to get people to do that is to invent an all-seeing, kindhearted sky dad who will be super disappointed/burn you for eternity if you don't show up.”

“Numbers are simple, obedient things, as long as you understand the rules they live by. Words are trickier. They twist and bite and require too much attention. He has to think to change the world. His sister just does it.”

“Everyone says you have to be super-precise to bake - like your extra-credit thing, the time-travel project. One calculation out of place and the whole thing would go wrong, right? It's hogwash! Look at this - bit of eggshell in there, scoop it out with a finger, what the hell. Too much flour, forget the butter, drop the pan - it doesn't matter how many mistakes you make, it mostly turns out OK. And when it doesn't, you cover it with icing.”

“We all want to be in the room where it happens, we want to be part of the things that matter to us, but no two people have the exact same collection of things that matter. Nowadays, I don't so much want to be in the room where it happens, but I do really want to help other people choose the right rooms, and help them realize that they really are a part of things that matter. Because when we feel like none of the rooms we are in matter, that's when we're really lost.”

“We can’t expect one person — or even two — to take the entire burden of resisting on their shoulders. We all have to stand up and say no.”
