Power, Truth, True

Phillip E. Johnson

Life, God, History

Phillip E. Johnson

Knowledge, True, Find

Mike Johanns

Good, Leader, Decisions

Judy Biggert

Mike Johanns

David Brin

Best, Doubt, Training

Science, almost from its beginnings, has been truly international in character. National prejudices disappear completely in the scientist's search for truth.
Irving Langmuir

Truth, Character, Almost

Predicting has a spotty record in science fiction. I've had some failures. On the other hand, I also predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of fundamentalist Islam... and I'm not happy to be right in all of those cases.
David Brin

Happy, Islam, Fall

However, I wasn't very good at the sciences, or didn't have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn't set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn't get a good enough result to go to University.
Jeremy Irons

Anne Stevenson

Art, Help, Understand

William Petersen

Life, Cool, Why

Matt Smith

Real, Seems, Fiction

Scott Ritter

Technology, Black, Show

Jerry Pournelle

Hard, Before, Working

Jim Sullivan

Love, Best, Friend

Richard Powers

Control, Face, Step

Richard Powers

Life, Good, Technology

I was really bright as a kid and tested well, and it was clear that I was going to get scholarships to any schools I wanted.

Kind of a dream he had for me.
James Wood

Time, Society, Dad
