Walter Cunningham

I think it's important, because we have so many children, who are, more or less like latch-key children, or children who are on their own. They need a plan.

Al Bowman

Richard P. Feynman

We are very lucky to be living in an age in which we are still making discoveries. It is like the discovery of America-you only discover it once.

It is very exciting, it is marvelous, but this excitement will have to go.

Richard P. Feynman

If you can find any other view of the world which agrees over the entire range where things have already been observed, but disagrees somewhere else, you have made a great discovery.

Richard P. Feynman

One of the ways of stopping science would be only to do experiments in the region where you know the law.

In other words, we are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.

Russell Baker

Television was the most revolutionary event of the century. Its importance was in a class with the discovery of gunpowder and the invention of the printing press, which changed the human condition for centuries afterward.

William Wordsworth

We murder to dissect.

William James

(Five) thinkers since Galileo, each informing his successor of what discoveries his own lifetime had seen achieved, might have passed the torch of science into our hands as we sit here in this room. Indeed, for the matter of that, an audience much smaller than the present one, an audience of some 5 or 6 score people, if each person in it could speak for his own generation, would carry us away to the black unknown of the human species, to days without a document or monument to tell their tale.

Walker Percy

Your discovery, as best as I can determine, is that there is an alternative which no one has hit upon. It is that one finding oneself in one of life's critical situations need not after all respond in one of the traditional ways. No. One may simply default. Pass. Do as one pleases, shrug, turn on one's heel and leave. Exit. Why after all need one act humanly?

John Timoney

There is a fingerprint and DNA match and an eyewitness has identified this individual,

Richard Dawkins

The messages that DNA molecules contain are all but eternal when seen against the time scale of individual lifetimes. The lifetimes of DNA messages give or take a few mutations are measured in units ranging from millions of years to hundreds of millions of years; or, in other words, ranging from 10,000 individual lifetimes to a trillion individual lifetimes. Each individual organism should be seen as a temporary vehicle, in which DNA messages spend a tiny fraction of their geological lifetimes.

Richard Dawkins

The thing that defines a species is that all members have the same addressing system for their DNA.

Russell Brand

Then, of course, through the umbilical link we all tumble backwards down the spiralling DNA staircase to one common ancestor in Africa, and before that some bunch of curious monkeys. Down and down we go unto the sea, unto the dust, the single cellular dust. What impulse drove one cell to become two? What yearning pulled the fish on to the land? What caused apes to walk upright? Some invisible magnetic pull. Is there a difference between attraction and intention? Where is evolution taking us?

Richard Dawkins

DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.

Sgt. Ring

If the person who is responsible for doing this is watching, it is only going to take the smallest piece of evidence. One little piece of evidence. DNA is not visible to the naked eye and other pieces of evidence are not visible to the naked eye. And, when you walk and you move throughout the planet, you leave traces of yourself everywhere you go.

David Beito

The DNA test was useful for discounting these urban legends,

Emmitt Smith

If you know anything about me, I've never been a trash-talker. That's not even part of my DNA.

Oliver Stone

Many films are forgotten and deserve to be, but others glom onto the DNA and they keep a share of the collective consciousness. It's a profound question: What are we here for? What is the purpose, the sum effect of our work?

Kay Redfield Jamison

When I'm talking about depression, I'm talking about the more severe forms of depression, and I think that conceptualising as a form of grief is probably not the most effective way of looking at it. I mean, at the end of the day, people suffer enormously, and you want to treat it.

Ralph Willard

I think it?d be more effective if you got your top off.

Jason Witten

Matthew Binns

He was the greatest in history and to get a look at his genetic material will be pretty amazing,

Peter Medawar

In no sense other than an utterly trivial one is reproduction the inverse of chemical disintegration. It is a misunderstanding of genetics to suppose that reproduction is only 'intended' to make facsimiles, for parasexual processes of genetical exchange are to be found in the simplest living things.

Mark Hyman

Your social networks may matter more than your genetic networks. But if your friends have healthy habits you are more likely to as well. So get healthy friends.

John Cacioppo

Oliver Luck

Ideally you'd have 12 months to set this up, to get a staff and do everything necessary, and we've had three months to ramp up. But we'll be ready to go.

Jacques Lemaire said when a team fails, no individual is successful, ... When a team is successful, all the individuals are successful.

Stephanie Coontz

The only thing that can replace (the emptiness) is a new sense of community. It's more than the sum of the individual losses.

James Blake

I think when you're learning an instrument, you are restricted because much of it is the noise of individual theory and your ability to play the instrument.

Michel Lu

It is not to be used for personal reasons or by individual personalities.

Danial Shapiro

We look at different facets, different relationships, the same relationship at different points in time. We look sometimes at the whole town and sometimes at individual relationships, and by the time we're done you have a sense of having met the people of this town.

Ross Carlson

We look after each other like any other team would, I believe. But there's like a point where there's no individual on this team.

Frank Wood

He was the kind of guy, when things were down, he brightened them up. He was happy-go-lucky ... and that light shone around him all the time.

Richard Posner

The Constitution has to be interpreted loosely, otherwise it becomes a straitjacket. You can't interpret it literally. You can pretend to, and go digging around in 18th Century dictionaries to figure out what 'cruel and unusual punishment' meant or what the 'right to bear arms' meant, but that is all fake really. The Constitution has to be interpreted in light of modern needs, and that's what they (the strict interpreters) end up doing in spite of all their investigations.

William Jennings Bryan

The money power denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.

I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it.

Wayne Dyer

Every obstacle is a test.

Rod Lurie

You learn quite a bit about your film from test screening audiences. With both comedies and movies that are intense, you need to calibrate the film and see how audiences react.

Michael Ramsey

The value of the testimony of such witnesses is about zero.

Barbara Ehrenreich

So even though I consider myself a fairly upbeat person, energetic and things like that, I never do very well on happiness tests.
