“We are all quite capable of believing in anything as long as it's improbable.”

“Okay, look at it this way: if the evening news has a very high probability of being accurate, then it's highly improbable that they would inaccurately report the numbers chosen in the lottery. That counterbalances any improbability in the choosing of those numbers, so you're quite rational to believe in this highly improbable event.”

“As for believing things, I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible.”

“The impossible is more believable than the highly improbable.”

“Dreams reveal we never quite get 'over' anything: it's all still in there somewhere.”

“On natural selection: "Any entity capable of intelligently designing something as improbable as Dutchman's Pipe (or a universe) would have to be even more improbable than a Dutchman's Pipe. Far from terminating the vicious regress, God aggravates it with a vengeance."”

“We truly believed in something back then, and we knew we were the kind of people capable of believing in something - with all our hearts. And that kind of hope will never simply vanish.”

“Depending on what you believe in life, you are capable of achieving anything without changing your body somehow.”

“For evil to take place, the acts of a few people are not sufficient; the great majority also has to remain indifferent. That is something of which we are all quite capable.”

“The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.”
