"The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism. Only those who know the most about it can appreciate how little is known about it. The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: 'What good is it?' If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering." ~ Aldo Leopold

"Artists may pour out their angst; philosophers and theologians may fume, lament, and obfuscate; but only science can know." ~ Stephen Jay Gould

"Skepticism is the default position because the burden of proof is on the believer, not the skeptic." ~ Michael Shermer

"History never really forgives. But with any luck, we won't forget." ~ Terry Grosz

"The wildlife of today is not ours to dispose of as we please. We have it in trust. We must account for it to those who come after." ~ King George VI
"The plow of mortality drives through the stubble, turns over rocks and sod and weeds to cover the old, the worn-out, the husks, shells, empty seedpods and sapless roots, clearing the field for the next crop. A ruthless, brutal process--but clean and beautiful." ~ Edward Abbey

"We are ignorant, terribly, immensely ignorant. And our work is, to learn. To observe, to experiment, to tabulate, to induce, to deduce. Biology was never a clearer or more inviting field for fascinating, joyful, hopeful work." ~ Vernon Kellogg

"One of the great achievements of science has been, if not to make it impossible for intelligent people to be religious, then at least to make it possible for them not to be religious. We should not retreat from this accomplishment." ~ Steven Weinberg

"God is an imaginary friend for adults." ~ from The Big Bounce

"I am treated as evil by people who claim that they are being oppressed because they are not allowed to force me to practice what they do." ~ D. Dale Gulledge

"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil--that takes religion." ~ Steven Weinberg

"What are we, surprised?" ~ George Carlin, taken slightly out of context

"I feel sorry for the country however as it shows the power of partisan politicians who think of nothing higher than their own interests, and I feel sorry for your future. We cannot stand so corrupt a government for any great length of time." ~ Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., 16 December 1877
