“One of these days I'm going to leave Nebraska, cut all those strings and ties and travel to the other prairies of this earth. I must know if the people who live on those other prairies feel the same way about their horizons as we do about ours.”
John Janovy Jr., Yellowlegs

“The world is not like you believe it to be; the world is not like you've been told that it is; the world is not like your textbooks are claiming that it is.”
John Janovy Jr., Life Lessons from a Parasite: What Tapeworms, Flukes, Lice, and Roundworms Can Teach Us About Humanity’s Most Difficult Problems

“My audience is the future of my nation and my species. Their reaction to death, and the beauty of this bird, will not leave my mind, even as I deliver some standard lecture on genetics for the next forty-fice minutes.”
John Janovy Jr., Life Lessons from a Parasite: What Tapeworms, Flukes, Lice, and Roundworms Can Teach Us About Humanity’s Most Difficult Problems
