Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
The split between religion and science is relatively new. Isaac Newton, who first worked out the laws by which gravity held the planets and even the stars in their traces, was sufficiently impressed by the scale and regularity of the universe to ascribe it all to God.
I know the problem of obesity. I got to tell you, I think that's tepid. I just don't think the bully pulpit is going to be enough to sufficiently fight obesity. We're going to have to have incentives in here.
