Florence Nightingale
(1820-1910)
(1820-1910)"Women never have a half-hour in all their lives (excepting before or after anybody in up in the house) that they call their own, without fear of offending or of hurting someone. Why do people sit up so late, or, more rarely, get up so early? Not because the day is not long enough, but because they have 'no time in the day to themselves.'" (1852)

Jane Goodall
"We look at the world around us and we classify everything. If you can see things without words...If you take away the word 'fly', you get this incredible creature which is part of the whole tapestry and interwoven web of life. We just-it's a fly and I realised how we destroy a lot of magic in the world by always wanting to label everything."
Jane Goodall, Enough Rope, ABC, Episode 152, 24 July 2006.
Stephen Hawking
"So it might seem possible, that as we advance in science and technology, we might be able to construct a wormhole, or warp space and time in some other way, so as to be able to travel into our past. If this were the case, it would raise a whole host of questions and problems. One of these is, if sometime in the future, we learn to travel in time, why hasn't someone come back from the duture, to tell us how to do it."
