“When we first got married, we made a pact. It was this: In our life together, it was decided I would make all of the big decisions and my wife would make all of the little decisions.

However, the strange thing is that in fifty years, there hasn’t been one big decision.”

“Science has therefore been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust.
