James Lovelock
  • I've got personal views on the '60s. You can't have freedom without paying the price for it.

  • You mustn't take what I say as gospel because no one can second-guess the future.

  • There aren't just bad people that commit genocide we are all capable of it. It's our evolutionary history.

  • There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.

  • One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything. You never know the truth. You can only approach it and hope to get a bit nearer to it each time. You iterate towards the truth. You don't know it.
