Famous quotes containing the word evolution:

    “Analyze theory-building how we will, we all must start in the middle. Our conceptual firsts are middle-sized, middle-distanced objects, and our introduction to them and to everything comes midway in the cultural evolution of the race.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “The evolution of sense is, in a sense, the evolution of nonsense.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “As a natural process, of the same character as the development of a tree from its seed, or of a fowl from its egg, evolution excludes creation and all other kinds of supernatural intervention.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
