Gull/evolution

Famous quotes containing the words gull and/or evolution:

    but what can be done gull gull when you turn the sun
    on again, a dead fruit
    and all that flies today
    is crooked and vain and has been cut from a book.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.
    Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
