More From James Lovelock
- "I’m a scientist, not a theologian. I don’t know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty."
- "If it hadn’t been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space."
- "If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so."

- "The world of science and the world of literature have much in common. Each is an international club, helping to tie mankind together across barriers of nationality, race and language. I have been doubly lucky, being accepted as a member of both."― Freeman Dyson
