Because medical research so often aims at the promotion of profits rather than solutions to the world's most urgent medical problems, a majority of funds focus on the wants of a minority of the world's population - those who are relatively wealthy. As a result, health care is often unavailable to those who need it most.
Ralph Ellison
- Invisible Man
Without light I am not only invisible, but formless as well; and to be unaware of one's form is to live a death. I myself, after existing some twenty years, did not become alive until I discovered my invisibility.

- Toast from Welcome to Night Vale
When we got up to leave, I looked at you and I tried to think of how to say everything I was feeling, but I've never been good at describing feelings. I'm only good at describing facts. And love isn't a fact. It's a hunch at first. And then later it's a series of decisions, a lifetime of decisions. That's love.

- Welcome to Night Vale
Painful though it may be, it seems that all we can do now - as so often in our dull blinkered lives below a microcosm of horror and beauty - is wait. Wait and hope, and know that our hopes are immaterial and powerless, and our wishes will go unheard by the indifferent multitude of stars, if indeed they (the stars) are even real.

Intelligence doesn't make you less prone to taking on bad ideas, it just makes you better at defending them to other people and to yourself. Smart people can believe some truly ridiculous things, and then deploy all the reason and logic at their disposal to justify them, because a belief doesn't begin in your mind. It begins in your feelings.
