Famous quotes containing the words darwin, william and/or tate:
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
“What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?”

And we are weary infants
In a palsied age.”
