Abundant Species

Famous quotes containing the words abundant and/or species:

    It was a flourishing tropic he required
    For his refreshment, an abundant zone,
    Prickly and obdurate, dense, harmonious,
    Yet with a harmony not rarefied
    Nor fined for the inhibited instruments
    Of over-civil stops.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
