War of the Worldviews: Where Science and Spirituality Meet -- and Do Not Quotes

If you judge a person only by how well he plays pool, Mozart won't pass scrutiny, but the fault is in your lens.”

The result is a set of beliefs - both conscious and unconscious - that guide us in interpreting all the events of our lives.”
