“I like to define biology as the history of the earth and all its life — past, present, and future.”
Rachel Carson (1907–1964) American marine biologist and conservationist
Preface to Humane Biology Projects (1961) by the Animal Welfare Institute
Context: I like to define biology as the history of the earth and all its life — past, present, and future. To understand biology is to understand that all life is linked to the earth from which it came; it is to understand that the stream of life, flowing out of the dim past into the uncertain future, is in reality a unified force, though composed of an infinite number and variety of separate lives.
Isabella Rossellini (1952) Italian actress and filmmaker
On what she feels like she symbolizes now for Lancôme in “Isabella Rossellini: ‘Ageing brings a lot of happiness. You get fatter – but there is freedom’” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/13/isabella-rossellini-ageing-brings-a-lot-of-happiness-you-get-fatter-but-there-is-freedom in The Guardian (2020 Oct 13)
William Morris (1834–1896) author, designer, and craftsman
"Art Under Plutocracy" (1883).
Context: So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.

“If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.”
Claude Bernard (1813–1878) French physiologist

“Talk about your life
I'd like to know
It's not easy going
Where no-one goes
And no-one knows…”
Mike Oldfield (1953) English musician, multi-instrumentalist
Song lyrics, Discovery (1984)
Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944) British astrophysicist
Space, Time and Gravitation (1920)
Context: It is of interest to inquire what happens when the aviator's speed... approximates to the velocity of light. Lengths in the direction of flight become smaller and smaller, until for the speed of light they shrink to zero. The aviator and the objects accompanying him shrink to two dimensions. We are saved the difficulty of imagining how the processes of life can go on in two dimensions, because nothing goes on. Time is arrested altogether. This is the description according to the terrestrial observer. The aviator himself detects nothing unusual; he does not perceive that he has stopped moving. He is merely waiting for the next instant to come before making the next movement; and the mere fact that time is arrested means that he does not perceive that the next instant is a long time coming.<!--p.26
