A Quote by George Porter

Should we force science down the throats of those that have no taste for it ? Is it our duty to drag them kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century ? I am afraid that it is.

Alberto Villoldo

I will put the Republican establishment on my shoulders and drag them kicking and screaming back to the Constitution.

Madison Cawthorn

Has it ever occurred to you that parents are nothing but overgrown kids until their children drag them into adulthood? Usually kicking and screaming?

Stephen King

Amphibians are dying out like crazy, and frogs and salamanders may be largely extinct by the end of the twenty-first century. Imagine an animal that begins its life in the water, but ends it on land - already, that's pretty weird. But, also, a lot of them are incredibly tiny and look wildly improbable. They have funny little toes, they stretch their throats into weird bubble shapes when they croak, and some of them are poisonous to the touch. I think kids from the twenty-second century might mythologize amphibians the way kids today mythologize dinosaurs.

Annalee Newitz

I'm afraid I am a bit of a technophobe - a nineteenth-century man caught in the twenty-first century. But there is one piece of technology that I would especially welcome: a device to automatically balance restaurant tables on all four legs so that they don't rock back and forth.

Leonard Susskind

A popular feel for scientific endeavors should, if possible, be restored given the needs of the twenty-first century. This does not mean that every literature major should take a watered-down physics course or that a corporate lawyer should stay abreast of quantum mechanics. Rather, it means that an appreciation for the methods of science is a useful asset for a responsible citizenry. What science teaches us, very significantly, is the correlation between factual evidence and general theories, something well illustrated in Einstein's life.

Walter Isaacson

I live in L.A. and love L.A., and you couldn't drag me out of there kicking and screaming.

Kevin Connolly

I believe very strongly that corporations could and should be a major force for resolving social and environmental concerns in the twenty-first century.

William Clay Ford, Jr.

This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century - solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.

Elie Wiesel

There are terrible things going on in the world, but I am not going to force them down everyone's throats.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

Arne Duncan is done more to bring our educational system, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the 21st century than anyone else.

Barack Obama

Brain science will be the most popular science of the early twenty-first century.

Ian Hacking

Science is so powerful that it drags us kicking and screaming towards the truth despite our best efforts to avoid it.

Peter Watts

My family is trying to drag me kicking and screaming into the normal world. Please, I live in hotel rooms.

John Pinette

Leadership is the great challenge of the 21st century in science, politics, education, and industry. But the greatest challenge in leadership is parenting. We need to do more than just get our enterprises ready for the challenges of the twenty-first century. We also need to get our children ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

Jim Rohn
