“If you can't believe in things that you've never seen, how then do you know you have a brain? You've never seen it. If you can look at this miraculous Creation and insist that there's no Creator, then you'd also have to say there's no evidence that your brain exists.”

“You've got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?"
"You'd probably kick my butt."
"You know I'd kick your butt.”

“Consider all that you've gone through, all that you've survived. And that the story of your life is done, your assignment complete. How many good things have you seen? How much pain and pleasure have you resisted? How many honors have you declined? How many unkind people have you been kind to?”

“You have no idea how it feels to know that you've cut someone to the quick. I'll never do it again, never, never.”

“If you want something you've never had you have to be willing to do something you've never done.”

“You do what you can with what you've got, but you also have to know you're part in the ensemble. If you have no lines, you can't be in the background trying to steal the scene.”

“The greatest personal limitation is to be found not in the things you want to do and can't, but in the things you've never considered doing.”

“…the brain can process two million bits of information per second. It remembers everything you've ever seen, everything you've ever heard…”

“I like to think of it like buying a car. Admit it. Your left brain looks at a vehicle in terms of the numbers. What's the horsepower? The towing capacity? The 0-60? That's our competitor's approach. But your right brain is different. There's only one question out there: sitting behind the wheel, where will this baby take me? In other words, do you want to go just a little bit faster, down the same streets you've always driven, or down a new road, to places you've never seen before? That's the difference with Nintendo DS.”

“How do I know I can trust you?'

'You can't,' he said bluntly. 'You've got to take it on faith that the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”
