Below are sample
thoughts from
the book
(ALL THE PICTURES FROM THE BOOK

e
30 f
I did not
learn how to curtsy or kneel or bow,
nor to need
anyone to do these for me.
e
164 f
Happiness is fattening.
- Cosette Tessier
e
198 f
She is
truth, and science is
attracted when she teases.
e
247 f
If we have learned to fear
and hate, the war has won us.
e
356 f
Once beliefs are agreed upon,
they become creeds.
e
46 f
Control
over one's own life, we call freedom.
Control
over other's lives, we call power.
They,
freedom and power, can be in conflict.
Power to
control others may come by many
different levels of influence or force.
When the
power comes by lies or secrecy, such that
the
follower does not know why he follows, or when
it comes
by threat of loss or pain, such that the
follower
follows out of fear, or when physical force
is used,
such that the follower has no choice, then
only the
power remains, and freedom is gone.
When the
control is by way of respected influence,
wherein
the other person follows by choice, having
been
inspired by logical and honest data or by
example,
then freedom is preserved.
e
647 f
The
Substantial, Unselfish, and
Continuing desire for someone
else
to be happy, is love.
e
416 f
Physics is quite simple, once it is
understood, but
physics is never understood. I am a
physicist all my
life, and I can promise you, we do not
understand.
e
783 f
The greatest force for war
is to love some of the people.
e
286 f
If we divide the Earth into even parts
for all of us, each of the six billion
of us will have approximately one trillion
tons of it. At just one dollar per ton,
it would take 1000 billionaires
just to buy your portion.
e
59 f
Once free-path discoveries
have been made, that is soon
enough to subject them to
the logical process.
e
471 f
Secrecy is the greatest
danger in our world. It has us
making decisions with the
data purposely withheld from us.
e
540 f
A billion light years far from here,
A star dimmed and transformed.
And a message came not very clear,
On our screens with lines and dots adorned.
A kinship's born with beings eons gone,
By way of data from a computer's run.
There's a poignant friendship coming on.
We think they called their star the Sun.
e
561 f
The word "honest"
comes from "honor,"
not from "truth."
e 363
f
We all
know that Grandpa says what he
thinks.
It's on his face, too. When we
get him
to play poker, we get his money.
e
654 f
Our fear of the
unknown is
so painful that we form or join
complex and inane pretense systems
to avoid thinking about it. Other pains
are handled as well with morphine.
e
1 f
If we spend
our lives silent or lying about
what we
believe, then at the end, there will
be too little
time left to tell our truths.
e
10 f
Whether we
know the truth or not, she will deal with us.
e
13 f
Faith is the
engine we cannot drive without.
Doubts are the
brakes some do drive without.
e
20 f
Rover's
discoveries show that Mars
once had
water. There will come a time when
Earth also
will have once had water.
e
23 f
If someone
does not care about the math,
the logic is
not worth considering.
e
27 f
Evolution does not play the lottery.
Evolution runs the lottery. It pays
a
winning mutation now and then,
among
millions of losers.
e
48 f
Do I fear
truth? Likely I do, with all the
secrets I keep
and all the things I resist to know.
e
55 f
Two Step diet:
One: After
each bite, decide if reasonably comfortable.
Two: If the
answer is "Yes," that’s the last bite.
e
58 f
Sometimes we
get so excited about
making money
that we forget our goals.
e 374
f
Fairness
is just a human invention.
Our
attraction to it differs from the rest of nature.
e 381
f
Will we
hear also the controverting
speaker
and be stimulated to think, or
will we
rather just be indoctrinated?
e 405
f
Nobody
wants to buy your home. They want to
buy only
your house. They will bring their own
home
along with them. The same principle
applies
when we put our religion on the market.
e 421
f
Should a
dragonfly declare that all the universe is
a
service to him, and that God made him in God's
image
and as God's purpose, he would be no more
arrogant
than humans who make the same claims.
e 382
f
You are
not a member of an organization which
keeps
secrets from you. You are only a subject.
e 392
f
Who does
God worship? Nobody.
Follow
this example.
Who does
God love? Everybody.
Follow
this example also.
e 418
f
If we
are to avoid contention, then how
will we
contend for the good and true?
e 438
f
A huge
blow may appear to end a war, but
in time,
it will be found that another
stage
has been set by this very blow.
e 548
f
The
heart's speed and rhythm are not the
source
of feelings, but the subject of them.
e 528
f
Generalizations born of one person's experience are
based on far
too little data to be of dependable value.
e 523
f
How can
two, each of whom accepts the
other's
eternal misery, work peace?
