Jane Goodall
"Some scientists believe chimpanzees can be useful in finding out more about human diseases and searching for cures because they can be infected with otherwise uniquely human viruses... it isnt only human beings who have personality, who are capable of rational thought [and] emotions like joy and sorrow."

Stephen Hawking
"To have removed predictability from physics and then to have put it back again, but
in a reduced sense, is quite a success story."
Hawking, SW 1994, '1. Classical Theory', Lecture, Cambridge University, accessed 15 April 2008, <http://www.hawking.org.uk/pdf/time.pdf>
Florence Nightingale
"...in my thirty first year, I can see nothing desirable but death.... I cannot understand it. I am ashamed to understand it"
(This quote may seem far from conveying Nightingale's strong belief in order in hospital systems, but it conveys the emotion that one might feel at being revealed the disorder within the hospital system that Nightingale would have witnessed when she first became a nurse)
Nightingale, F 1860, Notes for Suggestions to the Searchers for Truth Among Artizans of England. Eyre & Spottiswoode (for author), p 134.
