• I say that everyone has a right to be offended. So if someone is offended by something I say, I let them know that they have that right. That seems to piss them off a little bit more. And I let them know that they have the right to be pissed off a little bit more, too. •

• Absolutely everything has limits with no exception. As to our own brains, we may not know when we have reached our own limit. But soon we will have more advanced technology able to help extend that limit way before we have reached it. •

• Every moment spent being upset about something we can’t control is a moment we will never get back — a moment better used to notice the good things that deserve our time. •
