My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world to our everyday world.

Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.

Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science.

I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture everything connects.

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.

Some have called we rock and roll performers who never retire 'troubadours.' I enjoy this misnomer immensely. While there are many differences between me and my distant predecessors in L'Occitane I do believe there is a lineage that connects us of the last 70 years with those romantic singers of the High Middle Ages.

I'm a feminist but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.

My object will be first to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect.

Of course the plea for respect for nonhuman life goes far beyond the scientific delight of familiarity with our planet mates. The nonhuman forms of life with which we 6 000 million talking upright apes share this finite planet are directly or indirectly connected to our well-being.

What's natural and right is to go with the energy of how it all has to work together. What's natural and right is interconnectedness not individualism. What is natural and right is respect for the system not killing the system. What's natural and right is love.
