1. Stephen Hawkings:
"We shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God"
from his "A Brief History of Time", p233.
2. Jane Goodall:
"It can seem as you look out that it's just chaos and that we behave in terrible ways and we never really seem to get better. But we have to remember that compassion and love and altruism is equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage. They are just as evident in chimpanzees as the brutal, aggressive side of chimpanzee nature. We humans, therefore, have a choice ahead of us, we don't have to go the aggressive route. We can push and push and push towards love and compassion. That is where I believe human destiny ultimately is taking us."

3. Florence Nightingale:
"I stand at the altar of the murdered men, and, while I live, I fight their cause."
Lewis, Jone Johnson. "Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)" http://womenshistory.about.com/cs/quotes/a/qu_nightingale.htm
