But I know that every significant experience-positive or negative-sharpens them and makes them more accurate.

It betrays a great lack of imagination to believe that the concept of "purpose" must necessarily be associated with some anthropomorphic deity.

Arthur Koestler

Somebody once asked Niels Bohr why he had a horseshoe hanging above the front door of his house.
