• A veces se piensa que los reptiles y anfibios son primitivos, aburridos y de pocas luces. En realidad, pueden ser letalmente rápidos, espectacularmente bellos, sorprendentemente cariñosos y muy sofisticados.

• Man is an amphibian who lives simultaneously in two worlds-the given and the home-made, the world of matter, life and consciousness and the world of symbols.

• Amphibians are dying out like crazy, and frogs and salamanders may be largely extinct by the end of the twenty-first century. Imagine an animal that begins its life in the water, but ends it on land - already, that's pretty weird. But, also, a lot of them are incredibly tiny and look wildly improbable. They have funny little toes, they stretch their throats into weird bubble shapes when they croak, and some of them are poisonous to the touch. I think kids from the twenty-second century might mythologize amphibians the way kids today mythologize dinosaurs.

• Many of the medicines we use today, to fight everything from AIDS to cancer, originate as a toxin in an amphibian skin. When we lose these animals, we lose resources. We lose keystone species in the environments where they live.

• Society's only real 'progressives' are the deviants and mutants. Look at evolution - fish who didn't deviate never became amphibians; frogs who didn't mutate never became reptiles; conformist snakes never became mammals , etc. Normal Humans will remain humans, and they'll be subjugated by the digital monsters of the next few millenia.

• The choking humidity makes amphibians of us all, in Bombay, breathing water in air; you learn to live with it, and you learn to like it, or you leave.

• One of the best gifts you can give a poet is to present them with field guides - to rocks, to stars, to birds, to wildflowers, to trees and bushes, to butterflies, to reptiles and amphibians. Because when you look at anything long enough to be able to identify it, you see far more clearly and you make a tiny beginning at understanding the life, the place, the history of that bird or rock or mammal.

• The pineal gland of evolutionarily older animals, such as lizards and amphibians, is also called the 'third' eye. Just like the two seeing eyes, the third eye possesses a lens, cornea, and retina. It is light-sensitive and helps regulate body temperature and skin coloration-two basic survival functions related to environmental light.

• Desde que el primer ojo humano vio una hoja en la arenisca del Devónico y un dedo perplejo la tocó, la tristeza ha invadido el corazón del hombre. Por este tenue hilo de protoplasma vivo, que se extiende hacia atrás en el tiempo, estamos unidos para siempre a playas perdidas cuyas arenas hace tiempo que se han convertido en piedra. Las estrellas que captaron nuestra ciega mirada anfibia se han desplazado lejos o han desaparecido en su curso, pero aún así ese hilo desnudo y brillante sigue serpenteando. Nadie conoce el secreto de su principio o su fin. Sus formas son fantasmas. Sólo el hilo es real; el hilo es la vida.

• Somos muñecos de trapo hechos de muchas edades y pieles, mutantes que han dormido en nidos de madera y han siseado bajo la grosera apariencia de anfibios contoneantes. Hemos interpretado esos papeles durante épocas infinitamente más largas de lo que hemos sido humanos. Nuestra identidad es un sueño. Somos proceso, no realidad.

• Los Visitantes de los que informan los contactados, abducidos y otros testigos pueden ser, de hecho, una cultura anfibia o reptiliana muy avanzada de un mundo extraterrestre, que evolucionó hasta convertirse en la especie dominante de su planeta hace millones de años y que ha interactuado en la evolución de la Tierra como exploradores, observadores, cuidadores e ingenieros genéticos.

• We are part of nature, a product of a long evolutionary journey. To some degree, we carry the ancient oceans in our blood. … Our brains and nervous systems did not suddenly spring into existence without long antecedents in natural history. That which we most prize as integral to our humanity - our extraordinary capacity to think on complex conceptual levels - can be traced back to the nerve network of primitive invertebrates, the ganglia of a mollusk, the spinal cord of a fish, the brain of an amphibian, and the cerebral cortex of a primate.
