“Our common stock of words embodies all the distinctions men have found worth drawing, and the connexions they have found worth marketing, in the lifetimes of many generation; these surely are likely to be more numerous, more sound, since they have stood up to the long test of thee survival of the fittest, and more subtle, at least in all ordinary and reasonably practical matters, than any that you or I are likely to think up in our arm-chairs of an afternoon-the most favoured alternative method.” ThinkingMenLongMatterFoundSoundCommonGenerationsArmsSurvivalOrdinaryTestsMethodLifetimeMarketingDrawingPracticalsTheeAlternativesDistinctionSubtleChairsAfternoonStood UpSurvival Of The FittestConnexion Author:J.

“Thus, just as animals of many species, including man, are disposed to respond with fear to sudden movement or a marked change in level of sound or light because to do so has a survival value, so are many species, including man, disposed to respond to separation from a potentially caregiving figure and for the same reasons.” MenReasonLightValuesSoundAnimalLevelsFiguresMovementSurvivalSpeciesIncludingSeparationCaregiving Book:A Secure Base Source: A Secure Base
