"Citizens of this country need to know as much about the environment as they do about Reality TV, low-carb diets, and Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction."
--William H. Schlesinger, Nicholas School dean, on the need for ecologists to do a better job educating the public on environmental issues, at the August meeting of the Ecological Society of America
"A few fish per person times millions of fishermen can have an enormous impact. Their aggregate impact is far from benign."
--Will Figueira, research associate at Duke's Marine Lab and co-author of a study that found that amateur anglers are having an adverse effect on the already-depleted population of saltwater fish, sometimes rivaling commercial fishermen, in BBC News online
"My bewilderment is with the people I call the anti-minds, who are obsessed with placing limits on the human ability to interrogate the universe.... They feel threatened by the interrogation and secure inside their limits. Power, I believe, loves boundaries."
--Nigerian writer and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, in a pre-inauguration lecture |
