Charles Darwin
“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky.

—The Creation of Éa
Ursula K. Le Guin

Victor Serge
“what is terrible when you seek the truth is that you find it..”
Victor Serge

Wallace Stevens
“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.”
Wallace Stevens

Keith Richards
“If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet.”
