Isn't that the most perverse thing you've ever heard?

I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.

I think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic.

It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us. It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite and amaze people.

I'm very perverse. If someone tells me I have to read a book, I'm instantly disinclined to do so.

The universe is one of God's thoughts.

Imagining living in a universe without purpose may prepare us to better face reality head on. I cannot see that this is such a bad thing.

I accept that there may be things far grander and more incomprehensible than we can possibly imagine.
