Edward O. Wilson

We are a species that has evolved to live in small groups, but we have created a world that requires us to live in large groups.

The human mind is a product of evolution, and it is still evolving.

The most dangerous worldview is the one that believes it has all the answers.

We are not alone in the universe, but we are alone in our arrogance.

The natural world is a symphony, and we are just one instrument.

The more we learn about the natural world, the more we realize how little we know.

Science is the organized skepticism in the examination of the best stories that we can tell about the natural world.

The human species is a product of evolution, not a special creation.

The greatest discovery of all time is that we are part of nature, not separate from it.

We are not masters of the Earth; we are its stewards.

The greatest tragedy of our time is the loss of biodiversity.

The more we explore, the more we realize how much there is to explore.

The greatest adventure is to discover something new.

The human mind is a universe in itself.

The greatest lesson we can learn from nature is humility.

The human species is a work in progress.

The only constant in life is change.

The greatest challenge is to understand ourselves.

The world is a complex system, and we are just beginning to understand it.

The greatest power we have is the power to choose.
