• If an organised body is not in the situation and circumstances best adapted to its sustenance and propagation, then, in conceiving an indefinite variety among the individuals of that species, we must be assured, that, on the one hand, those which depart most from the best adapted constitution, will be most liable to perish, while, on the other hand, those organised bodies, which most approach to the best constitution for the present circumstances, will be best adapted to continue, in preserving themselves and multiplying the individuals of their race.

• As far as life is concerned, there is no such thing as "Nature". There are only homes. Home is that environment to which the individual has become adapted; and almost everything is unnatural outside his range of adaptation. Harmonious equilibrium with nature is an abstract concept with a Platonic beauty but lacking the flesh and blood of life. It fails, in particular, to convey the creative emergent quality of human existence.

• Los puntos fuertes que la arquitectura paisajista extrae de su herencia en el diseño de jardines son: la tradición del diseño vitruviano de equilibrar utilidad, firmeza y belleza; el uso de la palabra "paisaje" para significar "un buen lugar", como objetivo del proceso de diseño; un enfoque global de la planificación de espacios abiertos que incluye parques urbanos, vías verdes y naturaleza fuera de las ciudades; una teoría de la planificación sobre la contextualización de los proyectos de desarrollo; el principio de que los planes de desarrollo deben adaptarse a su contexto paisajístico.

• La Iglesia debe buscar ser bíblica antes que relevante. No vamos a dejar huella en nuestra cultura porque hayamos estudiado sus caminos y nos hayamos adaptado a ella. Somos relevantes cuando rechazamos de plano al mundo y somos su polo opuesto. Esta oscuridad actual proporciona una gran oportunidad para que la iglesia sea la sal de la tierra, pero si nos mezclamos con las mismas impurezas que se supone que debemos exponer... somos tan inútiles como nuestra cultura ya cree que somos.

• If the love of surgery is a proof of a person's being adapted for it, then certainly I am fitted to he a surgeon; for thou can'st hardly conceive what a high degree of enjoyment I am from day to day experiencing in this bloody and butchering department of the healing art.

• We finally know where the red line for climate really is. After the rapid melt of arctic ice in the summer of 2007, our best scientists, led by NASA's Jim Hansen, went back to work and produced a series of papers showing that with more than 350 ppm (parts per million) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, we couldn't have a planet "similar to the one on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted."

• I think a lot of ["Cosmopolitans"] is marked by [Jerome David] Salinger. Salinger wouldn't allow his works to be adapted for film after his experience with "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut," and I think that's great for us because then we have to do our own Salinger stories.
