Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:

    “In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
