Famous quotes containing the words man and/or match:
“The prehuman creature from which man evolved was unlike any other living thing in its malicious viciousness toward its own kind.... Humanization was not a leap forward but a groping toward survival.”

“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
