When my time on earth is gone and my activities here are passed I want they bury me upside down and my critics can kiss my ass!

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up we will then begin to live each day to the fullest as if it was the only one we had.

We sing a little song before we eat a little blessing before we eat and it's really - we're thanking the Lord and the Earth for the food that we eat and it really brings you together in a profound kind of way.

I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se but for the Internet which is for me the nervous system of mother Earth which I see as a living creature linking up.

Here bring your wounded hearts here tell your anguish Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

There are dark shadows on the earth but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

Sports are one of the main cultural activities on the face of the earth.

I think it's great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view.

Men of genius are often dull and inert in society as the blazing meteor when it descends to earth is only a stone.

Land: A part of the earth's surface considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society and is eminently worthy of the superstructure.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

They've also asked me now to start on another series that we're gonna do after this Frontier Earth. But it's not science fiction it's more in the Mystery and Crime division and that's another area I'm very interested in.

I'd always wanted the show to be more reality based science fiction something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still which I consider to be the classic science fiction film.

Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here right under our feet.

When we see the shadow on our images are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It's like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now when was then?

He that desireth to acquire any art or science seeketh first those means by which that art or science is obtained. If we ought to do so in things natural and earthly how much more then in spiritual?

Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.

We're looking at Earth science observing our planet. Also space science looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level using ourselves as test subjects.

I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle which is a bunch of crap.

Much of what Tea Party candidates claimed about the world and the global economy during the 2010 elections would have earned their adherents a well-deserved F in any freshman economics (or earth science) class.

Traditional science assumes for the most part that an objective observer independent reality exists the universe stars galaxies sun moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.

President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling 'I know you're there pick up pick up.

You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.
