“I have witnessed people transform cancer cells into healthy cells simply by thinking about them. I have witnessed human minds affecting the physical world in myriad ways. And once you see that happen..once this becomes a part of your reality, then some of the miracles you read about become simply a matter of degree.”

“Human thought can literally transform the physical world .. we are the masters of our own universe”

“Medicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation . . . these are the miracles about which we now tell our children. These are the miracles we herald as proof that science will bring us the answers. The ancient stories of immaculate conceptions, burning bushes, and parting seas are no longer relevant. God has become obsolete. Science has won the battle.”

“To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.”

“Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history?”

“Force a hand, and it will fight you. But convince and mind to think as you want it to think, an you have an ally”

“Fear, Katherine had once heard, acted as a stimulant sharpening the mind's ability to think.”
