C. Northcote Parkinson

A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.

Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even attempt to explain how the simple light sensitive spot that was his starting point actually worked.
Michael Behe

Although important nuclear physics work was to go on in laboratories such as ours had become - and we had to cut down to a lower energy group - it was not fundamentally opening up new insights on the structure of matter. That required you to be in a higher league.

And what do Democrats stand for, if they are so ready to defame concerned citizens as the "mob" - a word betraying a Marie Antoinette delusion of superiority to ordinary mortals.

Camille Paglia

And whereas women had to fight to find their way into the workforce, men are now fighting to reclaim their place in the family structure.
Bob Geldof
