Reporter : Are you saying you wouldn't want to get on Isla Sorna and study them if you had the chance?Dr. Grant : No force on earth or heaven could get me on that island.

Dr. Grant : I have a theory that there are two kinds of boys. There are those that want to be astronomers, and those that want to be astronauts.
