All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive - it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger.

We are all of us walking communities of bacteria. The world shimmers, a pointillist landscape made of tiny living beings.

Life on earth is more like a verb. It repairs, maintains, re-creates, and outdoes itself.

All I ask is that we compare human consciousness with spirochete ecology.

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.

Everybody knows what a caterpillar is, and it doesn't look anything like a butterfly.

Life learned early on to recognize itself.

Evolution is no linear family tree, but change in the single multidimensional being that has grown to cover the entire surface of Earth.

I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change - led to new species. I believed it until I looked for evidence.

People say I am against Darwin. That is ridiculous.

Fairness is not something to which we are entitled. Rather, it is something for which we hope.

Go AheadSpeak your wordsLord is with youLook at the skyHow were stars are so highSee your dreamsChase them with your heartBut, takes your mind with youYou will be fine very soon

People's computers are not getting more secure. They're getting more infected with viruses. They're getting more under the control of malware.

I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through Jesus Christ I'm more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope.

I'm not trying to be a spokeswoman for the transgender community; I just want to be looked at as a living, breathing, happy human being.

I don't think everything is going to get peachy ever. But I think we have to fight for what we believe in.

What you do today will determine how you feel tomorrow.

I'd like to consider myself a versatile skater and I like to skate to different kinds of music.

It’s impossible to say who has guns in Gaza anymore. The ballots are the only thing that can stop the violence at this point.
