Famous quotes containing the words evolution of, evolution and/or spiders:

    Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.
    Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)

    Only the rich remember the past,
    The strawberries once in the Apennines,
    Philadelphia that the spiders ate.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
