“What good men most biologists are, the tenors of the scientific world — temperamental, moody, lecherous, loud-laughing, and healthy. Your true biologist will sing you a song as loud and off-key as will a blacksmith, for he knows that morals are too often diagnostic of prostatitis and stomach ulcers. Sometimes he may proliferate a little too much in all directions, but he is as easy to kill as any other organism, and meanwhile he is very good company, and at least he does not confuse a low hormone productivity with moral ethics.”
The Log from the sea of Cortez • John Steinbeck“On the occasion of every act ask thyself, How is this with respect to me? Shall I repent of it? A little time and I am dead, and all is gone.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.”
American Claimant • Mark Twain“We are all convention; convention carries us away, and we neglect the substance of things. . . . We dare not call our parts by their right names, but are not afraid to use them for every sort of debauchery.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
