Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
There is an urgent need for a radical revision of our current concepts of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter and the brain.
People often ask how I got interested in the brain; my rhetorical answer is: 'How can anyone NOT be interested in it?' Everything you call 'human nature' and consciousness arises from it.
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
'The Da Vinci Code' and films of that nature are the ones that I really enjoy because you are learning and working out riddles as you go along.
The battle over genetically modified crops is rife with business interests and political opportunism. When GMOs were first produced in laboratories around the world, they were rightly heralded as a tremendous leap forward in our ability to supplement nature by providing high-nutrient foods.

Science is like a love affair with nature; an elusive, tantalising mistress. It has all the turbulence, twists and turns of romantic love, but that's part of the game.

The nature of rumor is known to all.
Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

There are good intentions behind many people's conversion to veganism, including an admirable devotion to the well-being of animals and a justified skepticism about the crap the USDA allows manufacturers to put in our food. But it's hard to ignore the often sanctimonious nature of what some nutritionists view as an 'extremist' way of eating.
I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.
