“Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wil...” — Lewis Thomas Quote

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

Our behavior toward each other is the strangest, most unpredictable, and most unaccountable of all the phenomena with which we are obliged to live. In all of nature, there is nothing so threatening to humanity as humanity itself.

In the fields I know best, among the life sciences, it is required that the most expert and sophisticated minds be capable of changing course - often with a great lurch - every few years.

Human language... prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand.

Alaves were very keen on me and I was very keen for another adventure. It doesn't really faze me moving to another country.

What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money.

As an audience member, those studio films are fun. I like an adventure tale, and I also like to go see something that has more of a social pulse. I like to keep learning and trying new things. And if the scripts are good, it doesn't really matter.

If you watch 100 episodes of 'SpongeBob' and then the 101st is 'Adventure Time,' you'd be like, what is this? The same is true about your audience.
