"You can slow time down by traveling. That month from Shringar to the Taj Mahal is like a year in my life currently. Really, time is a measure of change, in a vacuum time doesn't exist because nothing's changing. If you can pack your life full of interesting changes you stretch it out. So if you want to live longer, have a really interesting life."

"Why would so many risk their reputations, families, careers—even presidential legacies—for something that runs against human nature?

"No creature needs to be threatened with death to act in accord with its own nature"
