Stegosaurus was common only on well drained, dry soil.

The impact of the magazine was very strong. As I said, it portrayed dinosaurs as part of the geological history, part of the story of life on earth. It struck that paleontology was the career for me.

Feathers predate birds.

Since then I have held many jobs at museums in Colorado and Wyoming. I have also taught summer courses at the University of Colorado.

I also discovered the only complete Brontosaurus skull.

One of my major goals is to develop a web of the small Wyoming museums and create a major museum system. There are about eight of these museums, and they are all scattered.

Also, while I was at Yale, I had a job teaching kids at the museum.

I want to be the Bob DeNiro of the Jurassic.

At Harvard I was in charge of the comparative anatomy labs.

Stegosaurus was common only on well drained, dry soil.

Birds evolved from a small raptor like theropod.

As an undergraduate I held many small jobs as an illustrator.

To me it seems that the warm blooded dinosaurs replaced advanced mammal ancestors that were warm blooded, also.

One researcher just determined that African and Indian elephants make each other sick. When a new animal or plant is introduced to a habitat bad things happen. The biggest danger to native wildlife is foreign wildlife.

When looking at the evidence of feeding on large prey, you can see every size tooth from hatchling to adult in one spot. The babies may have been fed in the nest until they were full grown, like in eagles and hawks.

In 1941 Richard Owen said that the dinosaurs were almost hot blooded.

It was not an asteroid or comet, because it would have killed everything.

Often extinctions in the ocean occur at the same time as those on land. Then again, the ice age extinctions lost many big animals, but not many sea faring ones.

Land bridges were everywhere during the extinction, many species were spreading, and there were many diseases.

I also got a chance to go to the American Museum in New York, which helped my interest.

Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind. Kids can't curb their enthusiasm when they're in a hall of dinosaurs and mammoths and mammoth hunters and trilobites and giant fish that could chomp up a shark. These natural objects in motion and context make kids want to read; you can't stop them from reading and thinking.

Fossils have richer stories to tell - about the lub-dub of dinosaur life - than we have been willing to listen to.

I'll bet you a six-pack of Coors that pretty soon, people will be discovering Cretaceous parasites inside Cretaceous bones. The possibility of looking into epidemiology and pathology is pretty cool.

The evidence is overwhelming that birds are dinosaurs.

You could arm-wrestle with a T. rex and win, but you shouldn't because it only makes them mad.

Land bridges were everywhere during the extinction many species were spreading and there were many diseases.

Its very simple why kids are crazy about dinosaurs dinosaurs are natures Special Effects. They are the only real dragons. Kids love dragons. Its not just being weirdly shaped and being able to eat Buicks. Its that they are real.

The public image of dinosaurs is tainted by extinction. Its hard to accept dinosaurs as a success when they are all dead. But the fact of ultimate extinction should not make us overlook the absolutely unsurpassed role dinosaurs played in the history of life.

If we measured success by longevity then dinosaurs must rank as the number one success story in the history of land life.

Dinosaurs have a bad public image as symbols of obsolescence and hulking inefficiency in political cartoons they are know nothing conservatives that plod through miasmic swamps to inevitable extinction.

People do all sorts of things impulsively and follow those impulses into strange places.

I have had the good fortune to see how my articles have directly benefited some farmers and helped build markets for their products in a way that preserves land from development. That makes me a hopeless optimist.

I am not saying I am the best manager in the world. But I'm quite good.

If one lazily thinks of what a fashion designer might do if he's going to conquer cinema next, it would be taking the opportunity to display his fashion sensibilities.

I spent my entire childhood with my father. I started my first business at 16, and we became business partners. He's not just a mentor and somebody that I look up to, but he's also someone whom I took work ethic and determination and all of those qualities from.

Marriage is another trap. If you are someone who likes independence, it's another stamp against that. And you have to swear to fidelity.

Once I'm on stage, the energy of the crowd wipes my nerves away.

Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.

If I had to drop everything and just be a songwriter, I would be OK with that because that's the real joy.

All things being equal, I think people would still prefer to do business with their hometown companies. That's true in America, that's true in China, that's true in Germany.

Diligence is a good thing but taking things easy is much more restful.

It is extremely important that mass media, having freed from the relics of the Cold War, served for peace and dialogue between nations and religions, the rich and the poor, countries and continents.

It will, It had, It is happening, depending on how you think and react about it.

We emphasize the transcendent worth of the human person. We insist that the human person must never be treated as an object he must always be considered the subject. That is the basis for our teaching the absolute standard.

The state doesn't own your children. Parents own the children.

None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.

It's gonna be weird how there are going to be new 'Star Wars' movies every year starting in 2015. I don't know what that's going to be like, having one every year. Maybe it'll be perfect. Maybe it'll be just the right amount of time to have something to look forward to. Maybe it'll be too many at once.

No man could have accepted me because I am too rebellious. It would have been catastrophe. I am too into my own thing.
