"Physiology and Psychology are not at all separate from each other. Rather they are deeply intertwined."
"In modern neurotheology we examine the physical bases to spiritual, religious and mystical experiences and beliefs, that implicitly appear to reduce this rich phenomenology to only neuronal functions. So, the thing is, there was no divine intervention necessary in the evolution of spirituality and religiosity. “Human Brain is the true God of all beliefs”."
"A life without having loved someone is a life never lived."
"All human experiences, from the feeling of love, to the presence of God emerge from various brain activity."
"It's better not to hold your feelings inside too much and express them to a dear one freely, than to pay thousands of dollars to a psychiatrist for the same outburst of emotions later. Emotions are a bonding mechanism for humans. So, use ‘em, abuse ‘em and utilize ‘em."
"Memorizing facts and then regurgitating them into carefully crafted words is not science people. It’s intellectual bulimia. Real science happens when we explore what we don’t know. The first law of understanding the human brain and the mind within, is to be an explorer."
"For a man, the optimal evolutionary strategy is to disseminate his genes as widely as possible, given his few minutes (or, alas, seconds) of investment in each encounter.

Naturally she has to be very discerning in her choice of sexual partners."
"Sexual thoughts float through a man’s brain many times a day, while on the contrary a woman has them only one to four times a day."
