Diversity Quotes
-
My own first love was biology. I spent a great part of my adolescence in the Natural History museum in London (and I still go to the Botanic Garden almost every day, and to the Zoo every Monday).

Embrace a diversity of ideas. Embrace the fact that you can disagree with people and not be disagreeable.

If you can find common ground, you can accomplish great things.

It is natural human impulse to think of evolution as a long chain of improvements, of a never-ending advance towards largeness and complexity - in a word, towards us. We flatter ourselves.
