My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence; they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on the Internet.
Steven Tyler

Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children.
Samuel Butler

Surely the immutable laws of the universe can teach more impressive and exalted lessons than the holy books of all the religions on earth.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

I wouldn't mind at all coming back to earth after my death.
Edith Piaf

For me, singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.
Edith Piaf

Singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.

The easiest thing to find on God's green earth is someone to tell you all the things you cannot do.
Richard M. DeVos

Who promised you that only for joy were you brought to this earth?
Anna Freud

I mean, I think we're put here on earth to make your own destiny, to begin with. I don't think there's anything you can do this way or that way to change anything.
Waylon Jennings

That's how it is on this bitch of an earth.
Samuel Beckett

You're on earth. There's no cure for that.
Samuel Beckett

Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.
Samuel Beckett

Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life here on earth; it applies to the whole universe.
John Polkinghorne

The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth.
John Polkinghorne

If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.
Billie Holiday

No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.

The earth also is spherical, since it presses upon its center from every direction.
Nicolaus Copernicus

I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this book which I have written concerning the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, I ascribe certain motions to the Earth, they will cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Accordingly, since nothing prevents the earth from moving, I suggest that we should now consider also whether several motions suit it, so that it can be regarded as one of the planets. For, it is not the center of all the revolutions.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Therefore, in the course of the work I have followed this plan: I describe in the first book all the positions of the orbits together with the movements which I ascribe to the Earth, in order that this book might contain, as it were, the general scheme of the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus
