The differences between people of the same race are so large that its ridiculous to think of races as different - or even existing
Luigi Cavalli-Sforza (1922 -) quoted by Phillip Cohen & Andy Coglan, Less is more: Our genes are subtler than we ever guessed New Scientist (17 February 2001)
The family is as confining as it is nurturing. Our need for this community keeps us in a cage of other peoples desires and expectations; some of us spend our lives peering out through the bars at what seems to be a larger world.

Gregory Clark (1957 -) in A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World (2007)
After 2020, when artificial intelligence reaches human levels, there will be two intelligent species on Planet Earth, one evolving more rapidly than biology would ever permit.

Don Cupitt (1934 -) After God: The Future of Religion (1997)
Man may be excused for feeling some pride at having risen, though not through his own exertions, to the very summit of the organic scale. And the fact of his having thus risen, instead of having been aboriginally placed there, may give him hope for a still higher destiny in the distant future.
Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) in The Descent of Man (1871)
DNA is nothing less than a blueprint,
or more accurately an algorithm or instruction manual, for building a living,
breathing, thinking human being.
Paul Davies (1946 -) The Fifth Miracle: the search for the origin of life (1998)
There is no long-distance target, no final perfection to serve as a criterion for selection, although human vanity cherishes the absurd notion that our species is the final goal of evolution.
Richard Dawkins (1941 -) The Blind Watchmaker (1986)
We are each made of mindless robots and nothing else, no non-physical, non-robotic ingredients at all. The differences among people are all due to the way their particular robotic teams are put together, over a lifetime of growth and experience.
Daniel Dennett (1942 -) Freedom Evolves (2003)
Since we experience our environment through our senses, any virtual-reality generator must be able to manipulate our senses, overriding their normal functioning so that we can experience the specified environment instead of the actual one.

Marguerite Duras (1914 - 1996) in House and Home Practicalities (1990)
Only instant massive mobilization and wartime-style controls in every major industrialised and industrialising country could stop the rise in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2015, and we know that is not going to happen.
Gwynne Dyer (1943 -) Climate Wars (2008)
For a society with technological control of human emotions, addictions to artificial emotional experiences may be totally easy to induce. A society addicted in this way to dreams and shadows has lost its sanity.
Freeman Dyson (1923 -) Imagined Worlds (1997)
More has been learned about the

the greatest era of exploration lies ahead.

pace that is indifferent to human timescales and, once in a while,
catastrophically indifferent to human life.

Friedman (1953 -) quoted by James Martin in After
the Internet: Alien Intelligence (2000)
Neuropharmacology is today just a precursor to powerful technologies of the future, both pharmacological and genetic, that will allow us to alter the natural forms of human behaviour that have shaped us as a species, and eventually to deliberately redesign human nature itself.
Francis Fukuyama (1952 -) in Life, but not as we know it, New Scientist (20 April 2002)
In the great urban cities of the
industrial countries there are still islands of deprivation, and especially so

Galbraith (1908 - 2006) in Sian Griffiths (ed.) Predictions: 30 great
minds on the future (1999)

I very much doubt that our grandchildren will understand the distinction between that which is a computer and that which isnt.
William Gibson (1948 -) Will We Plug Computers Into Our Brains? Time (June 26 2000)
A computer cannot be
intelligent, but it can create a parallel universe in which natural forms of
intelligence can be replicated.
Steve
Grand (1958 -) in Creation: Life and How to
Make It (2000)

Rachel Herz (? -) in The Scent of Desire: Discovering Our Enigmatic Sense of Smell (2007)
We are not evolutions ultimate product. Theres something coming after us, and I imagine it is something wonderful. But we may never be able to comprehend it, any more than a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
Daniel Hillis (1956 -) quoted by Tom Wolfe in Hooking Up (2000)
What man seeks, to the point of
anguish, in his gods, in his art, in his science, is meaning. He cannot bear
the void. He pours meaning on events like salt on his food. He denies that life
bounces along at random, at the mercy of events
Franois Jacob (1920
-) The Statue Within: An Autobiography (1988)
We build internal sea walls to
keep at bay the sadnesses of life and the often overwhelming forces within our
minds.

-) An Unquiet Mind (1995)
After sex, money is our second appetite. Understanding comes third.
Peter Jay (1937 -) in The Road to Riches or The Wealth of Man (2000)
We believe in science. We base our culture on technology. Technology is science; its the practical application of it, to learn about the world and put that knowledge to work.
Donald Johanson (1943 -) in Maitland A. Edey & Donald C. Johanson, Blueprints: Solving the Mystery of Evolution (1989)
I believe that it is only in the form of autobiography, of one kind or another, that the novel can survive.
George Johnston (1912 - 1970) in Nadia Wheatley, The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift (2001)
To a Darwinian, life has no strategy. It evolved through a series of short-term tactics, and the symbioses that make the modern world emerged in the same messy, expedient and arbitrary way. Corals, oaks and human cells show that we do live on a purposeless spaceship.
Steve Jones (1944 -) in Coral: A Pessimist in Paradise (2007)
The human need for companionship
and sexuality is far stronger than any intellectual theory.
Erica
Jong (1942 -) in What Do Women Want? - Power Sex Bread Roses (1998)

civilization did not come about by mere accident.
Seth Lloyd (1960 -) Programming
the Universe: A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On the Cosmos (2006)
Our contemporary industrial civilization is hopelessly unfitted to survive on an overpopulated and under-resourced planet, deluded by the thought that clever inventions and progress will provide the shoehorn that fits us into our imaginary niche.
James Lovelock (1919 -) The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning (2009)
Every fool imagines that existence is for his sake but if man examines the universe and understands it, he knows how small a part of it he is.

Lynn Margulis (1938 -) Symbiotic Planet: a new look at evolution (1998)
Computers will not be like us. We are seeing the early stages of new forms of computer intelligence that are radically, totally, fundamentally different from human intelligence and, in narrowly focussed areas, vastly more powerful. Instead, an alien intelligence is developing.
James Martin
(1933 -) After the Internet: Alien Intelligence (2000)

must fight not only the oil companies, the airlines, and the governments of the
rich world; we must also fight ourselves.

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons.
Anas Nin (1903 - 1977) in Diaries Vol. 1V 1971
New concepts of the physical world and of psychology may give insights into knowledge, but the visible world, in human terms, is more than scientific truths.

Joyce Carol Oates (1938 -) quoted by Greg Johnson in Invisible Writer: A Biography of Joyce Carol Oates (1998)
The very essence of modern painting is movement; nature has never been static, it is in constant flux. Landscape ought to be seen as a nervous system.
John Olsen (1928 -) in Drawn from Life (1997)
You have to wake people up. To revolutionize their way of identifying things. Youve got to create images they wont accept. Force them to understand that theyre living in a pretty weird world. A world thats not reassuring. A world thats not what they think it is.

Matt Ridley (1958 -) in Nature via Nurture: Genes, Experience, and What Makes Us Human (2003)

Ken Robinson (1950 -) with Lou Aronica The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything (2009)
Sex in humans and animals is an almost ludicrously complicated, infinitely resourceful, and varied network of anatomical, chemical, social, biological, and emotional signals and schemes for regenerating and perpetuating chromosomes, genes, and DNA.
Joann Rodgers (1941 -) in Sex: A Natural History (2001)
Before the age of archaeology, intelligent Westerners believed that the human race was five thousand years old, and quite separate from other life on the planet.
John Romer (1941 -) in Great Excavations: John Romers History of Archaeology (2002)
We live on hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy which is one of billions of galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes.
Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996) quote in Michael Brooks, 13 things that dont make sense: the most baffling scientific mysteries of our time (2008)
Sex is really the invisible point of all action and conduct, and peeps up everywhere in spite of all the veils thrown over it.
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) quoted in Irvin D. Yalom, The Schopenhauer Cure: A Novel (2005)
All existence in this world involves a struggle against others, overcoming of others to some extent and doing wrong to others and that is part of the contingencies of moral life.
Roger Scruton (1944 -) in Bryan Appleyard, How to Live Forever or Die Trying: On the New Immortality (2007)
Teach your children what we have taught our children: that the earth is their mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. Man does not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Chief Seattle (c. 1786 – 1866) in Clive Ponting, A New Green History of the World (Revised Ed. 2007)
Love looks not with the eyes, but the mind

George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950) in Michael Holroyd, Bernard Shaw: The Search for Love (1988)
Elaine Showalter (1941 -) in Sian Griffiths (ed.) Predictions: 30 great minds on the future (1999)

For if there is one single thing
that distinguishes humans from all other life forms, living or extinct, it is
the capacity for symbolic thought: the ability to generate complex mental
symbols and manipulate them into new combinations. This is the very foundation
of imagination and creativity: of the unique ability of humans to create a
world in the mind and to recreate it in the world outside themselves.
Ian Tattersall (1945
-) Becoming Human: Evolution and Human Uniqueness (1998)

Art is a way of getting into and out of life The way the two meet is what we call individuality.
Brett Whiteley (1939 - 1992) in Sandra McGrath, Brett Whiteley (1992)
If history and science have taught
us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth. The human
mind evolved to believe in the gods. It did not evolve to believe in biology.
Edward O. Wilson (1929 -) Consilience: the unity of knowledge (1998)
The revolution of the twenty-first century, if the arts are to survive, will have a name to which no ism can be easily attached. It will be called content. It will be called life, reality, the pulse of the human beast.
Tom Wolfe (1931 -) in Hooking Up (2000)
Ive discovered that many things we might have thought were special about life and intelligence can also emerge in all kinds of physical systems.
Stephen Wolfram (1959 -) quoted by Marcus Chown, Opinion Interview New Scientist (25 August 2001)
If we dont do things right now, while we prosper, we will never be able to do them when times get hard. Our fate will twist out of our hands. And this new century will not grow very old before we enter an age of chaos and collapse that will dwarf all the dark ages in our past.
