Quotes 

• Daniel Pierce : There's nothing worse than a liar. We all feel that way, right? But why? Why do we take such exception to somebody pulling the wool over our eyes? 'Cause it feels lousy. Literally.

  Daniel Pierce : Disbelief gets processed by the limbic system's Cingulate Cortex and the Anterior insula. The same parts of the brain that report visceral sensations like pain and disgust. This not only explains why we hate liars but why we as human beings long for something to believe in.

  Daniel Pierce : Whether it be Santa Clause or a scientific fact like gravity, our brains reward us emotionally when we believe. To believe is to feel good. To feel comforted. But how can we trust our own belief systems when our brains are giving them emotional kickbacks? By balancing it all with critical thinking, by questioning everything, and by always, always being open to the possibilities.
