I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.

Women are called upon to defend every bit of progress we have made against particularly virulent attack. But we must also hold out a vision put forth a positive agenda of what women need and want and then move forward toward that dream.

Without peace and without the overwhelming majority of people that believe in peace defending it working for it believing in it security can never really be a reality.

I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers.

Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.

Just put down 9/11... I think on most things I'm liberal except on defending ourselves and keeping half the money. Those things I'm kind of conservative on.

I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.

Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds merit and honesty.

It might be pardonable to refuse to defend some men but to defend them negligently is nothing short of criminal.

That is why I fought against abortion and that is why if I were still in the Senate I would be doing everything I could to defend the sanctity of marriage.
