"Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction." ― E. O. Wilson Topic(s): Nature More From E. O. Wilson "I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves." "The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion, whether it’s Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity." "We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely."

Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow."― Antonio Porchia "Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer."― David Herbert Lawrence
