“I like to summarize what I regard as the pedestal-smashing messages of Darwin's revolution in the following statement, which might be chanted several times a day, like a Hare Krishna mantra, to encourage penetration into the soul: Humans are not the end result of predictable evolutionary progress, but rather a fortuitous cosmic afterthought, a tiny little twig on the enormously arborescent bush of life, which, if replanted from seed, would almost surely not grow this twig again, or perhaps any twig with any property that we would care to call consciousness.” IfsHumansLittlesSoulEndsMightCareGrowsResultsConsciousnessProgressRevolutionMessagesRegardPropertyFollowingSeedsTinyStatementsCosmicPredictableKrishnaMantrasPedestalEnd ResultsHaresSmashingTwigsPenetrationAfterthoughtFortuitousHare Krishna Author:Stephen Jay Gould

Thou shalt sing for joy of heart, and praise the grace of Solitude.” WellsHeartSoulCareJoyStarsGraceSeaPrayingSolitudePraiseSeedsPeacefulGentleFancyGood WillSproutsKindling Author:Martin Farquhar Tupper

“marrows - alas! - are arriving in a steady stream at the back door. ... Oddly enough, the majority of people who grow them in Fairacre say, as they hand them over: 'Funny thing! I don't care for them myself. In fact, none of the family likes them!' But still they plant them. It must be the fascination of seeing such a wonderful return for one small seed, that keeps marrow-growers at their dubious task.” PeopleStillsEnoughFactsHandsCareGrowsWonderfulSeeingDoorsReturnTasksMajorityPlantDon't CareSeedsLikesI Don't CareStreamsSteadyGardeningAlasFascinationFunny ThingsArrivingDubiousMarrowBack Doors Author:Miss Read
