- "The beauty of science is the ability to be productively wrong so that our collective understanding always ratchets upwards" - Anil Seth
- “The brain is wider than the sky, for put them side by side, the one the other will contain with ease and you besides” - Emily Dickinson
- “We’re all hallucinating all the time including right now, it’s just that when we agree about our hallucinations, we call that reality” - Anil Seth
