“The philosophy that I have worked under most of my life is that the serious study of natural history is an activity which has far-reaching effects in every aspect of a person's life. It ultimately makes people protective of the environment in a very committed way. It is my opinion that the study of natural history should be the primary avenue for creating environmentalists.” PeopleWayShouldPersonsPhilosophyScienceLife IsNaturalOpinionHistoryStudyEnvironmentEffectsSeriousHard WorkActivityCreatingAspectEnvironmentalCommittedPrimariesReachingAvenuesProtectiveEnvironmentalistNatural History Author:Roger Tory Peterson
“We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don't know who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should identify with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find ourselves scattered everywhere, in all directions, leaving nobody at home.” KnowsShouldBelieveDifferentFeelingsHomeFightingBeliefVoiceIdentityAspectLeavingBuddhistContradictoryInner LifeTibetanFragmented Author:Sogyal Rinpoche
“Probably the most important aspect of individual defensive play is the 'close-out.'

“Today the network of relationships linking the human race to itself and to the rest of the biosphere is so complex that all aspects affect all others to an extraordinary degree. Someone should be studying the whole system, however crudely that has to be done, because no gluing together of partial studies of a complex nonlinear system can give a good idea of the behavior of the whole.” GivingShouldHumansIdeasDoneWholeTodayTogetherRaceKnowledgeStudyDegreesBehaviorAspectGardenComplexesExtraordinaryHuman RaceGood IdeasInterconnectionComplex SystemsBiosphereNonlinear Author:Murray Gell-Mann

“That the fundamental aspects of heredity should have turned out to be so extraordinarily simple supports us in the hope that nature may, after all, be entirely approachable. Her much-advertised inscrutability has once more been found to be an illusion due to our ignorance. This is encouraging, for, if the world in which we live were as complicated as some of our friends would have us believe we might well despair that biology could ever become an exact science.” IfsWorldShouldBelieveWellsMayMightFoundSimpleSupportIgnoranceDespairIllusionAspectShould HaveFundamentalsSimplicityComplicatedDuesIgnorantBiologyHeredityExact Sciences Book:The Physical basis of heredity Source: The Physical basis of heredity
“The ghostly presence of virtual particles defies rational common sense and is nonintuitive for those unacquainted with physics. Religious belief in God, and Christian belief that God became Man around two thousand years ago, may seem strange to common-sense thinking. But when the most elementary physical things behave in this way, we should be prepared to accept that the deepest aspects of our existence go beyond our common-sense intuitions.” ThinkingMenWayShouldYearsMayTwoSeemsChristianBeliefReligiousCommonExistenceAcceptingAtheismStrangeThousandAspectYears AgoPreparedIntuitionPhysicsCommon SenseRationalBehaveThousand YearsBe PreparedParticlesReligious BeliefBelief In GodPhysical Things Author:Antony Hewish
“A further aspect I should like to discuss is what I call the practice of infinite escape clauses.
