“It occurred to me that for a long time I tried not to write about my own backyard and my home. I suppose I was selfishly keeping it to my self. And in doing so, I was never able to get out into this incredible wilderness area - by the way, I live right at the edge of the most incredible wilderness area probably in the northern hemisphere.” WayWritingLongSelfHomeAbleMy OwnLong TimeAreasIncrediblesEdgesWildernessBackyardsHemisphere Author:Tim Cahill
“I horse ride. I find it is the best way to maintain my fitness and stay physical. I have to practise anyway for my equestrian front. I do dressage and schooling too. I also do physical training where I work on my neck and upper body strength.

“The Romans have provided a lot of writers with a model for various interstellar empires, of course, and no wonder. The Roman Empire is a really good example of a large empire that, in one form or another, functioned for quite a long time over a very large area. And over all that time, there was all sorts of exciting drama - civil wars and assassinations and revolts and bits breaking off and being forced back in ... But I didn't want my future - however fanciful it was - to be entirely European.

“I've had and probably still have a lot of bad haircuts. My mom just sent me some pictures - I don't know why she did this - but she sent me some pictures of me when I was probably like 12. I grew up in the D.C. area and I used to wear a Redskins jersey just walking around.

“For a very long time science and philosophy were considered part of the same continuum and it was only within the last few hundred years they've been considered different areas of inquiry, and now we're starting to go back to the idea that maybe they aren't two separate realms of inquiry.” YearsLongTwoIdeasDifferentPhilosophyLastsLong TimeHundredAreasStartingRealmsInquiryContinuumScience And Philosophy Author:Brad Warner
“Permafrost in the soil [is melting], in the boreal and arctic areas in the world, and, probably even more alarming in the last six or eight months, the data on what is happening to the ice shelves in Greenland and the west Antarctic has begun to cause people to radically reassess the earlier conviction that those ice shelves were stable on a kind of century-long time scale.” PeopleWorldKindLongLastsCausesCenturyMonthsSixLong TimeHappeningsAreasWestConvictionEightScalesIceDataSoilStableShelvesMeltingArcticGreenland Author:Bill McKibben
“Both in Britain and America, huge publicity has been given to stem cells, particularly embryonic stem cells, and the potential they offer. Of course, the study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas in biology, but I think it is unlikely that embryonic stem cells are likely to be useful in healthcare for a long time.” ThinkingLongHas BeensAmericaCoursesGivenStudyHugeOffersLong TimeAreasExcitingCellsBritainBiologyHealthcareStemUnlikelyPublicityStem CellEmbryonic Stem CellsBritain And America Author:Robert Winston
“Several times I asked myself, "Can it be that I have overlooked something, that there is something which I have failed to understand? Is it not possible that this state of despair is common to everyone?" And I searched for an answer to my questions in every area of knowledge acquired by man. For a long time I carried on my painstaking search; I did not search casually, out of mere curiosity, but painfully, persistently, day and night, like a dying man seeking salvation. I found nothing.” MenLongStatesNightFoundAnswersCommonDyingDespairLong TimeAreasSalvationMereCuriositySeekingDay And NightOverlooked Author:Leo Tolstoy
