Carlo Rovelli
“I believe that our species will not last long. It does not seem to be made of the stuff that has allowed the turtle, for example, to continue to exist more or less unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, for hundreds of times longer, that is, than we have even been in existence. We belong to a short-lived genus of species. All of our cousins are already extinct. What's more, we do damage. The brutal climate and environmental changes that we have triggered are unlikely to spare us.”
Carlo Rovelli, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

Hope Jahren
“America says it loves science, but it sure as hell doesn't want to pay for it.”
Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

Zona Gale
“Moments of mystery are rare enough, in all conscience; and when they do arrive all the world misses them by trying to understand them. Which is manifestly ungrateful and stupid.”
Zona Gale, Romance Island

Voltaire
“There is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night.”
Voltaire

“The next time you spray on Chanel No. 5 (assuming you do), you may wish to reflect that you are dousing yourself in distillate of unseen sea monster.”
Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything
