->''"When Eugene was a student, one of his university professors was consulted by a high-ranking government official responsible for regulating the electric utility industry. Eugene's professor had to explain to this government official that what he was asking for violated Kirchoff's Current Law[[note]]For a parallel path, the amount of current flowing into a given node or junction in an electric circuit must be equal to the amount of current flowing out.[[/note]]. The government official responded by asking, 'Can't we just repeal it?' The sad thing is, he was not joking."''

->''[People say] "But evolution is only a theory!", which is true, I mean it is a theory and it's good they say that, I think, because it gives you hope, doesn't it? That they feel the same way about the theory of gravity and they might just float the fuck away...''

->'''Charles Darwin''', 1842

->''I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world … without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries; a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.''
