E. O. Wilson Calling Quotations

Personally, I've always thought dying on vacation was the better way to go . . . I do have certain requests about my passing, though. I hope that if I die in a plane crash, it's coming FROM a vacation instead of heading TO. I know, it's a small consolation, but I'd have a tan and would look rested at my calling hours.

Last year this time we were on the other side, just hoping and praying that somehow they would stick us in there. It makes the day a lot more fun, knowing they will be calling our name sometime.

The beginning of wisdom, as the Chinese say, is calling things by their right names.
