“Science is the organized skepticism in the reliability of expert opinion.”

I’m smart enough to know that I’m dumb.

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

Words can be meaningless. If they are used in such a way that no sharp conclusions can be drawn.

There is nothing cheaper than an opinion.

You can stop worrying about the opinions of anyone else and go after what you want without that holding you back.
