When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.
I believe in research you cannot do enough research; believability comes out of what's real.

That in man which cannot be domesticated is not his evil but his goodness.
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
