Jane Goodall -
"The greatest danger to our future is apathy...Can we overcome apathy? Yes, but only if we have hope...now that we have finally faced up to the terrible damage we have inflicted on our environment, our ingenuity is working overtime to find technological solutions. But technology is not enough. We must engage with our hearts also. And it's happening around the world"
Goodall, J 2002, 'The Power of One', Time Magazine US, accessed 15 April 2008.
Stephen Hawking -
"The only way to have scientific theory is if the laws of physics hold everywhere including at the beginning of the universe. One can regard this as a triumph for the principles of democracy: Why should the beginning of the universe by exempt from the laws that apply to all other points. If all points are equal one can't allow some to be more equal than others"
Hawking, S 'Quantum Cosmology', The Nature of Space and Time, September 1994, p.40.
