“The Indian is but a sketch in red crayon of a rudimental manhood. To the problem of his relation to the white race, there is one solution: extermination.”
“Thatâ€™s how you tell what a manâ€™s really made of. Itâ€™s one thing for a man to be big and brave and kill a spider. Any man could do that. Trailinâ€™ after a woman when sheâ€™s shopping for thongs and push-up bras is a whole other category of man.

“I've never been the critic of reality TV that others have, especially many of my colleagues who wonder if it's just the end of America. It's a free market and you just put it on. The fact that science has not been on neck-and-neck with it means that people believe science could not compete on that level.”
