Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.”
    —Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)

    “Let us guard against saying that death is opposed to life. The living is merely a species of the dead, and a very rare species.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
