“This world is not a middle point in evolution. It's one step down from the middle point in evolution.

“The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting.

“We're going to leave this planet at some point further than we have, we're going to go beyond the moon, we're going to go to mars. We all kind of know that on some level, I think actually.

“In order to survive, all systems must evolve by providing greater and greater access to the currents that flow through them. This applies to all physical, biological and social systems that survive and thrive.... But let’s take that one step forward... the systems just described are ... constantly evolving. This suggests another design principle: ... design for evolution rather than creating a static design optimizing for the present.” OrderSocialStepsPrinciplesGreaterDesignEvolutionCreatingFlowCurrentsAccessEvolveThriveProvidingStaticSteps ForwardSocial Systems Author:John Hagel

“Perhaps no order of mammals presents us with so extraordinary a series of gradations as this [step by step, from humans to apes to monkeys to lemurs] - leading us insensibly from the crown and summit of the animal creation down to creatures, from which there is but a step, as it seems, to the lowest, smallest, and least intelligent of the placental Mammalia. It is as if nature herself had forseen the arrogance of man, and with Roman severity had provided that his intellect, by its very triumphs, should call into prominence the slaves, admonishing the conqueror that he is but dust.” IfsMenShouldHumansSeemsOrderAnimalStepsCreationEvolutionCreaturesIntelligentSlaveSeriesExtraordinaryIntellectDustTriumphArroganceCrownsSmallestMonkeysLowestSummitApesConquerorMammalsSeverityProminenceLemurs Author:Thomas Huxley

“In a sense, evolution adheres to the classic twelve-step program: it takes things one day at a time. It does not strive for perfection; it does not strive at all. There is no progress, no plans, no scala natura, or scale of nature, that ranks organisms from lowly to superior, primitive to advanced.” DoeStepsProgressPlansEvolutionOne DayProgramPerfectionStriveScalesSuperiorsClassicTwelvePrimitiveOrganismsOne Day At A Time Author:Natalie
“I presume that few who have paid any attention to the history of the Mathematical Analysis, will doubt that it has been developed in a certain order, or that that order has been, to a great extent, necessary -- being determined, either by steps of logical deduction, or by the successive introduction of new ideas and conceptions, when the time for their evolution had arrived.” Has BeensIdeasCertainOrderAttentionStepsDoubtEvolutionPaidDeterminedMathematicalAnalysisLogicalConceptionNew IdeasIntroductionDeductionsMathematical Analysis Book:A Treatise on Differential Equations Source: A Treatise on Differential Equations

“Each of us is the next step in evolution along the lineage created by our two parents. Our higher purpose on earth can be found by recognizing what our parents accomplished and where they left off.
