Horatio Nelson

England expects that every man will do his duty.

Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.

I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal!

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

Nature, I have constantly argued in my work, is the real superpower of this godless universe. It is the ultimate disposer of human fate, randomly recarving geography over 10,000-year epochs.
