"Hubris and science are incompatible."

--

Douglas Preston

“The national school is not a lecture hall or a library. Its schooling consists chiefly in experimental collective action aimed at the realization of a collective purpose.”
“In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way. As humans grew stronger, I think that we became quite arrogant, losing the sorrow of 'we have no other choice.' I think that in the essence of human civilization, we have the desire to become rich without limit, by taking the lives of other creatures.”
“I am very aggressive and very physical. On the field, I guess I am just plain mean.”
“The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there's gold in letting go of them.”
“Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence.”
“Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.”
“An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.”
“I remain committed to my core family as one I can trust and depend on. The end result is the assurance that I'm surrounded by the people who will help me, stick by me, and fight alongside me, through good and bad, life and death.”
