Quotes by Daniel Todd Gilbert (?)

“My friends tell me that I have a tendency to point out problems without offering solutions, but they never tell me what I should do about it.”

“Our brain accepts what the eyes see and our eye looks for whatever our brain wants.”

“We live in a world in which people are censured, demoted, imprisoned, beheaded, simply because they have opened their mouths, flapped their lips, and vibrated some air.

Hateful, blasphemous, prejudiced, vulgar, rude, or ignorant remarks are the music of a free society, and the relentless patter of idiots is how we know we're in one. When all the words in our public conversation are fair, good, and true, it's time to make a run for the fence.”
