As liberty and intelligence have increased the people have more and more revolted against the theological dogmas that contradict common sense and wound the tenderest sensibilities of the soul.

Within thirty years we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

They have involved co-operation between the Iraqi intelligence and al-Qaeda operatives on training and combined operations regarding bomb making and chemical and biological weapons.

By the 2030s the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane the automobile the computer - says little about his intelligence but speaks volumes about his laziness.

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

There is no logical reason why the camel of great art should pass through the needle of mob intelligence.

I think my imagination dictates the technologies I use. But at the same time my imagination can be technologic. Sometimes I see a tool and I know immediately how to use it but most of the time I use the tool for an idea I already have.

One way we can enliven the imagination is to push it toward the illogical. We're not scientists. We don't always have to make the logical reasonable leap.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

There are psychological repercussions to illness and we need a little more help to get through the effects not only on the afflicted but on the family. And I think there's even a place for humor in that.

Sure the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs but they're uncomfortable laughs.

Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because you see humor is truth.

Logic is one thing the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.

Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic.

Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.

I think a major element of jetlag is psychological. Nobody ever tells me what time it is at home.
