"Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up."

“I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning.

“It's always been a dream of mine, of exploring the living world, of classifying all the species and finding out what makes up the biosphere.”
“I don't like wearing suits all the time. I don't like looking like the clean-cut kind of dude. I think the coolest guys are the ones who dress how they want to dress.”
“We don't usually think of what we eat as a matter of ethics. Stealing, lying, hurting people - these acts are obviously relevant to our moral character. In ancient Greece and Rome, ethical choices about food were considered at least as significant as ethical choices about sex.”
“People who do not know how to laugh are always pompous and self-conceited.”
“It would be unwise to say the least, irresponsible of us at the TSA, at the Homeland Security Department not to evolve our technology to match the changing threat environment that we inhabit.”
