Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carl Sagan

As agonizing a disease as cancer is, I do not think it can be said that our civilization is threatened by it. ... But a very plausible case can be made that our civilization is fundamentally threatened by the lack of adequate fertility control.

A cancer is not only a physical disease, it is a state of mind.

Bill Bryson

Think of a single problem confronting the world today. Disease, poverty, global warming... If the problem is going to be solved, it is science that is going to solve it.

Or a woman with a science degree.

And you are made of a hundred trillion cells. We are, each of us, a multitude.

Bill Bryson

Disassemble the cells of a sponge (by passing them through a sieve, for instance), then dump them into a solution, and they will find their way back together and build themselves into a sponge again.
