Quotes 

• Doc : To have a brain is not a sin, but to have a brain and not use it, that is a sin.

• Doc : The brain, Peekay, has two functions: It is the best reference library ever, which is a good thing to have. But also from it comes original thought. In school you will get all filled up with the facts. Out here, your brain will learn where to look, how to look, and how to think. Any question you ever have, the answer you will find in Nature - if you know where to look, and how to ask. And then you will have for yourself all the brains that have ever been.

• Doc : You know, my donkey, Beethoven, once told me a remedy of curing sadness in little boys. Would you like to try it?

  [P.K nods] 

  Doc : Okay, stand up, on this brick wall, stand on one leg, good, now close your eyes, say three times "absoloodle".

  P.K. Age 7 : Absoloodle, absoloodle, absoloodle.

  Doc : Feel better?

  [P.K shakes his head] 

  Doc : No? I guess it proves one thing then.

  P.K. Age 7 : What's that?

  Doc : Never take advice from a donkey.

• Doc : Any question you ever have, the answer you will find in nature.
