- "Science doesn’t in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself."― Walter Gilbert
- "I do not regret one moment of my life."― Lillie Langtry
- "I believe that science fiction is as profound as you want it to be or it can be very simple entertainment, and I’m all for very simple entertainment. Every now and then we all need to come home, veg-out, watch something and not think too deeply about it. It’s what you want it to be. We tend to steer clear of being pedantic; it’s entertainment first, otherwise we’d be on a lecture circuit."― Joe Flanigan
