Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)

    “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)
