I was afterwards sorry for this, though, if I ever travel again, I shall trust to none but natives, as the climate of Africa is too trying to foreigners.

I profess accurately to describe native Africa - Africa in those places where it has not received the slightest impulse, whether for good or evil, from European civilisation.

Each tribe has its characteristics, it is true.

My first occupation was to map the country.

So is the savage buffalo, especially delighting in dark places, where he can wallow in the mud and slake his thirst without much trouble; and here also we find the wild pig.

Cows, after leaving the low lands near the coast, are found to be plentiful everywhere, and to produce milk in small quantities, from which butter is made.

Twins are usually hailed with delight, because they swell the power of the family, though in some instances they are put to death.

In the following pages I have endeavoured to describe all that appeared to me most important and interesting among the events and the scenes that came under my notice during my sojourn in the interior of Africa.

The rest of my work, besides sketching and keeping a diary, which was the most troublesome of all, consisted in making geological and zoological collections.

The eye of prudence may never shut.

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology.

Somehow I wasn't completely crucified by the critics. I don't know how or why, I probably should've been.

Physics is nothing but the ABC's. Nature is an equation with an unknown, a Hebrew word which is written only with consonants to which reason has to add the dots.

My generation had to be taken seriously because we were stopping things and burning things. We were able to initiate change, because we had such vast numbers. We were part of the baby boom, and when we moved, everything moved with us.

I don't think of myself as a gearhead or a motorcyclist. I'm not that young, and this is like another life of mine. But the people I know from that era think of me that way.

I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want.

In photography there are no shadows that cannot be illuminated.

I love clothes, so when I wear clothes, they're usually somebody's. You know, I'm not wearing Kmart.

Science doesn't in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself.

Working with Dav Pilkey was a dream come true. Dav is incredibly funny, and he's been a hero of mine for a long time. It was great bringing the 'Wimpy Kid' and 'Captain Underpants' worlds together!

Also, I am driven by a wonderful muse called alimony.

Purify the mind through selfless service.

The data which is used to date for making the conclusions and predictions on global warming are so rough and primitive, compared to what's needed, and so unreliable that they are not even worth mentioning by respectful scientists.

The next message you need is always right where you are.

Our nation was not founded because we all looked alike, or prayed alike, or descended from the same family tree. But our founders, in their genius, in this, the oldest constitutional democracy, put forth on this earth the idea that all are created equal; that we all have inalienable rights.

I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.

While I am here, I want to maximize my time on this planet, you know.

Cherish and take of what you value. Happiness is fragile. Appreciate every moment and do everything you to protect it.

Markets love volatility.

I don't go on the Internet. I never go on the Internet. I don't go on Twitter. I'm not on Facebook. I've seen friends go into dark, dark holes of sadness because of that. Frankly, I don't have the time or the attention span for it.

Some books are a revelation. They come along at just the right time for just the right reasons. They become heart books and soul books.

Some people thrive under pressure, but pressure can also ruin your performance, it can push you down angles which you don't want to go.

I'm not so sure I believe in dopplegangers. I just prefer to be Dane DeHaan.
