“Funny how mishearing things-or not hearing them at all-can really screw things up”

“Things will get really screwed up, right?""Erm...maybe.""Maybe, like how?""Ever wanted to go sledding in the Mojave Desert?”

“It's funny how humans can wrap their mind around things and fit them into their version of reality.”

“The really amazing thing about all this is no matter what you believe,it took some doing to get from a point where there was nothing, to a point where all the right neurons fire and pop so that we can make decisions.More amazing is how even though that's become second nature, we all still manage to screw it up.”

“I'd been in hairier situations than this one. Actually, it's sort of depressing, thinking how many times I'd been in them. But if experience had taught me anything, it was this: No matter how screwed up things are, they can get a whole lot worse.”

“You can't really be strong until you can see a funny side to things.”
