Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “Books, gentlemen, are a species of men, and introduced to them you circulate in the “very best society” that this world can furnish, without the intolerable infliction of “dressing” to go into it. In your shabbiest coat and cosiest slippers you may socially chat even with the fastidious Earl of Chesterfield, and lounging under a tree enjoy the divinest intimacy with my late lord of Verulam.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Can it then be doubted, but that God, who is infinitely fine Spirit, and withal intelligent, can make and change all species and kind of body as he pleaseth? But I dare not say, that this is the way by which God Almighty worketh, because it is past my apprehension: yet it serves very well to demonstrate, that the omnipotence of God implieth no contradiction.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
