“It's a most peculiar psychology—this business of 'Science is based on faith too, so there!' Typically this is said by people who claim that faith is a good thing. Then why do they say 'Science is based on faith too!' in that angry-triumphal tone, rather than as a compliment? And a rather dangerous compliment to give, one would think, from their perspective. If science is based on 'faith', then science is of the same kind as religion—directly comparable. If science is a religion, it is the religion that heals the sick and reveals the secrets of the stars. It would make sense to say, 'The priests of science can blatantly, publicly, verifiably walk on the Moon as a faith-based miracle, and your priests' faith can't do the same.' Are you sure you wish to go there, oh faithist? Perhaps, on further reflection, you would prefer to retract this whole business of 'Science is a religion too!”

“And here I was excited to get somewhere I could drink milk out of the carton while wearing my underwear.” “You drink milk out of the carton while in your underwear?” Alex laughed. “You’ve never done that? Gotten up in the middle of the night and wanted a snack?” “Yes, but I wouldn’t bother to put on my underwear.” He watched my face as his words sank in. “What do you -- oh.” I frowned. “Wouldn’t that be cold?” “It’s not so bad when you have someone warm to get back to.” His eyes ran over me, lingering on my hose-clad legs. “Good point.” I looked back out the window as he chuckled.”

“Since we all have varying degrees of tolerance for pain, and have equally varied experiences with different types of pain, it makes the scale feel kind of meaningless -- especially when you consider that the person trying to ascertain how much pain a patient is in, when she says it's 'worse than a broken leg,' but not as bad as childbirth,' is still only going to be able to guess what that means based on his or her own experience -- and perceptions -- of pain.”
