Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

E. O. Wilson

The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going.

J. Michael Straczynski

I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.

Roger Bannister

Ignorance is a voluntary misfortune.

Nicholas Ling

It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.
