2. As a kid, I was going to be a marine biologist or an actor. When I became successful as an actor, I said, 'Well, maybe I can lend a voice to this with an equal passion.' You realize how lucky we are and how destructive we've been and what little regard we have for the natural world. - Leonardo DiCaprio

3. If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point. - Nicolas Cage

4. Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics. - Stephen Hawking

5. Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. - Oprah Winfrey

6. I've always been interested in science - one of my favourite books is James Watson's 'Molecular Biology of the Gene.' - Bill Gates

7. If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons. - James Baldwin

8. A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If, as some evidence suggests, exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life, studying them could revolutionise biology, medicine and biotechnology. - Paul Davies

9. Nothing can be more incorrect than the assumption one sometimes meets with, that physics has one method, chemistry another, and biology a third. - Thomas Huxley

10. Biology has at least 50 more interesting years. - James D. Watson

12. As a young boy, I was obsessed with endangered species and the extinct species that men killed off. Biology was the subject in school that I was incredibly passionate about. - Leonardo DiCaprio

14. It will be in the convergence of evolutionary biology, developmental biology and cancer biology that the answer to cancer will lie. Nor will this confluence be a one-way street. = Paul Davies

15. The language of chemistry simply does not mesh with that of biology. Chemistry is about substances and how they react, whereas biology appeals to concepts such as information and organisation. Informational narratives permeate biology. - Paul Davies.
