Neil L. Andersen

The human brain works in, so far, mysterious and wondrous ways that are completely different than the ways that computers calculate. Things like appetite or emotion, how do those function in the brain?

Paul Allen

The lord works in mysterious ways. Indeed. And a shorter way to say that is: God is a sneak.

Demetri Martin

Numbers are the product of counting. Quantities are the product of measurement. This means that numbers can conceivably be accurate because there is a discontinuity between each integer and the next.
