• I like to define biology as the history of the earth and all its life - past, present, and future.

  Rachel Carson

• Any concept of biology is not only sterile and profitless, it is distorted and untrue, if it puts its primary focus on unnatural conditions rather than on those vast forces not of man's making that shape and channel the nature and direction of life.

  Rachel Carson
