I learned very early on that it's necessary but not sufficient for scientists to go to school board meetings and say, 'We shouldn't be teaching creationism.' Being right doesn't mean it'll pass.

You can't really be scientifically literate if you don't understand evolution. And you can't be an educated member of society if you don't understand science.

Creationists who want religious ideas taught as scientific fact in public schools continue to adapt to courtroom defeats by hiding their true aims under ever changing guises.

I never say that evolution is a fact. Evolution is a theory. It's much more important than a fact, because theories explain things.

Evolution makes biology make sense. And if you don't teach your students the evolutionary core of biology, you're making it harder for them.

Public schools are where the next generation of leaders are educated and where cultural exchange will take place.

Evolution is not controversial in the field of science. It's controversial in the public sphere because public education is highly politicized.

I think what bothers me so much of the time, is they take the data and theory and distort it. They must know they're distorting.

Expectation creates the reality.

Besides, that MBA is a Masters of Business Administration, not a Masters of Business Leadership.

Roger’s wand made a crackling noise as he traced it around Winston’s arms, down his waist, and everywhere else.

Life is the ultimate adventure, and Death, the prize that awaits us all.

Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species.

We used to be "shiftless and lazy," now we're "fearsome and awesome." I think the black man should take pride in that.

Work is love made visible.

Every prayer is an agreement with yourself.

I had gone to school to work on technique and found it wasn't something that was really worthwhile to me, although it probably was.

I felt dull and flat and full of shattered visions.
