Famous quotes containing the words species and/or growing:
“Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.”

“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men.
