Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories.

I certainly saw science as a kind of calling and one with as much legitimacy as a religious calling.

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible he is almost certainly right but if he says that it is impossible he is very probably wrong.

Save for thee and thy lessons man in society would everywhere sink into a sad compound of the fiend and the wild beast and this fallen world would be as certainly a moral as a natural wilderness.

I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it.

There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it but it was a great piece of art.

It's a very complex scenario and certainly Dave was and is not the only person in Pearl Jam with personality flaws. Everybody in this band exhibits some form of neurotic behavior. And we couldn't find a balance a mutual respect for each other.

I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.

I certainly respect other people's opinions but I would not vote for a woman to be the pastor of a church.

How do you live with evil? Art is traditionally - certainly with my secular background - the answer but art is very self-referential whereas religion claims to go beyond the bounds of human existence.

I think you can be cynical about religion on occasion and certainly skeptical about the degree to which some people use religion to manipulate other people.

It was a real surprise to me to come across the evidence that Christianity might once have been a danced religion. Certainly some of the early church leaders thought this was great and spoke of what seems to have been circle dancing perhaps around an altar.

If you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.

Certainly the experiences of Seth and his relationship to his parents and his point of view of the world are very similar to my own and very much based on my experiences at the University of Southern California.

I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.

It's one thing to have a relationship to lay your hands on it and another to make it continue and last. That's something I haven't talked about much in my comic strips and it's certainly something I'm interested in.

I certainly wanted to maintain some sense of mystery about Picard and that's why we never allowed certain situations to fully evolve like the relationship between Picard and Beverly Crusher.
