The controversy between Darwinism and intelligent design has the characteristics of major scientific revolutions in the past. Darwinists are losing power because they treat with contempt the very people on whom they depend the most: American taxpayers. The outcome of this scientific revolution will be decided by young people who have the courage to question dogmatism and follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Jonathan Wells

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.

E. M. Forster

We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.

George R.R. Martin

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Bertrand Russell

Various channels of dialogue must be kept open to build trust. I will meet North Korea's leader if it is needed to develop relations between the two Koreas.

Park Geun-hye

Education is too important to be left solely to the educators.

Francis Keppel

Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for the night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Terry Pratchett

I feel I have had a very interesting life, but I am rather hoping there is still more to come. I still haven't captained the England cricket team, or sung at Carnegie Hall!

Jeffrey Archer

All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.

Joseph Conrad

We pay for the mistakes of our ancestors, and it seems only fair that they should leave us the money to pay with.

Don Marquis

It's all positive energy from me, man.
