Quote examples
John Burroughs
American Author
The distribution of plants in a given locality is not more marked and defined than that of the birds. Show a botanist a landscape, and he will tell you where to look for the lady's-slipper, the columbine, or the harebell. On the same principles, the ornithologist will direct you where to look for the greenlets, the wood-sparrow, or the chewink.
Quote examples
Corneille Ewango
Congolese Environmentalist
Congo has vast stands of biologically important forests as well as remote areas still waiting to be explored, yet we have very few botanists. I'm working to expand training for young students and inspire a new generation to make discoveries, spread the word about conservation, and increase protected areas throughout our country.
Quote examples
Eden Robinson
Canadian Novelist
On June 22, 1793, Vancouver's Discovery and Chatham anchored in Klekane Inlet. Archibald Menzies, the ship's botanist, wrote that on the evening of June 28, they were visited by eight natives in two canoes who brought them two large salmon. This is the first known published encounter with the Haisla people.
Quote examples
Carolus Linnaeus
Swedish Scientist
A practical botanist will distinguish at the first glance the plant of the different quarters of the globe and yet will be at a loss to tell by what marks he detects them.
Quote examples
Kazimir Malevich
Polish Artist
Painters were also attorneys, happy storytellers of anecdote, psychologists, botanists, zoologists, archaeologists, engineers, but there were no creative painters.
Quote examples
Richard Preston
American Writer
Botanists have a tradition of never revealing the exact location of a rare plant. Contact between humans and rare plants is generally risky for the plants.
Quote examples
Barry Gardiner
British Politician
Whether you're a banker or a botanist - the economic benefits of a clean energy revolution are compelling.
Quote examples
Enrico Fermi
Italian Physicist
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.

Andrew Weil
American Scientist
It's rare - too rare, I have to say - for botanists to become doctors.

Albert Hofmann
Swiss Scientist
They do not know very good Latin, these botanists.
