Pseudopodia/reproduction

Famous quotes containing the words pseudopodia and/or reproduction:

    “The will to power can express itself only against resistances; it seeks that which resists it—this is the native tendency of the amoeba when it extends its pseudopodia and gropes around.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Although Samuel had a depraved imagination—perhaps even because of this—love, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: “Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.””
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
