“The history of science is the saga of nature defying common sense.”

“Science is a tool of Common Sense. When we insist that all valid information come from science or doctors, Common Sense becomes uncommon or lost forever.”

“People who lose children have their hearts warped into weird shapes. Some try to deny it has happened. Some pretend it hasn't. Losing friends or parents is not the same. To lose a child is beyond comprehension. It defies biology. It contradicts the natural order of history and genealogy. It derails common sense. It violates time. It creates a huge, black, bottomless hole that swallows all hope.”

“Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.”

“Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.”

“An event in the present evokes past sensations. But science couldn't explain how a foolish heart had the power to overrule common sense.”
