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.

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 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.

Luck appears when you are working towards it, not looking for it.

A rose's prick is better than a daisy's kiss.

Your Potential is all that you can HAVE but have not yet possessed. No limits. No boundaries

Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care, you just do it and it looks great.

You don't know what bravery is until you overcome fear.

Night-time is when I brainstorm; last thing, when the family's asleep and I'm alone, I think about the next day's writing and plan a strategy for my assault on the blank page.

I don't feel pain. I ain't got time for that. I let other people feel pain for me.

The goal is not to be better than anyone else but rather be better than you were yesterday.

Not everything you wanted, deep inside, worked out.
