    Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Though mine enemy thou hast ever been,
    High sparks of honor in thee have I seen.
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The beast exists because it is stronger than the thing that you call evolution. In it is some force of life, a demon, driving it through millions of centuries. It does not surrender so easily to weaklings like you and me.
    Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Lucas (Nestor Paiva)
