Stephen Hawking

"The lower the mass of the black hole, the higher its temperature. So as the black hole loses mass, its temperature and rate of emission increase, so it loses mass more quickly." (Hawking, 1988).

Jane Goodall

"Compassion and self-sacrifice are two of the qualities we value most in our own western society. In some cases -- as when someone risks his or her life to save another -- the altruistic act is probably motivated by the same inherent complex of helping behaviours that cause a chimpanzee to aid a companion."(Goodall, 2000)

Florence Nightingale

"She fought for the privilege of studying math, for the right to be a nurse, and for every woman's right "to bring the best that she has, whatever that is to the work of God's world... to do the thing that is good, whether it is 'suitable for a woman' or not." She cautioned against extremism, "which urges women to do all that men do...merely because men do it, and without regard to whether this is the best that women can do.""(Lipsey, 1993)
