James Patterson

If complex organisms demand an explanation, so does a complex designer. And it's no solution to raise the theologian's plea that God (or the Intelligent Designer) is simply immune to the normal demands of scientific explanation.

Or it does not, in which case, get it out of the science classroom and send it back to church, where it belongs.

Vladimir Lenin

Whenever the cause of the people is entrusted to professors, it is lost.

Tove Jansson

She started thinking about all the euphemisms for death, all the anxious taboos that had always fascinated her. It was too bad you could never have an intelligent discussion on the subject. People were either too young or too old, or else they didn't have time.
