Famous quotes containing the words clan and/or tree:

    “We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
    —Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)

    “the scythers, Time and Death,
    Helmed locusts, move upon the tree of breath;”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
