Trinidad may seem complex but to anyone who knows it it is a simple colonial philistine society.

The little things I can obey. But the big things - how we think what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: 'Crumbs have I made a mistake here?' If you don't have that continuously you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Whenever anyone says 'theoretically ' they really mean 'not really.'

Anyone who attempts to generate random numbers by deterministic means is of course living in a state of sin.

What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don't believe it will change. And I just want to say: 'It does! High school ends and it's over.' I will tell anyone that it's OK to be unhappy at school make lots of mistakes and then it will be over.

Among the reasons people keep sad stories to themselves is that they do not want anyone to feel sorry for them. I don't. I don't want you to feel sorry for me.

Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner.
