Ellis

Famous quotes containing the word ellis:

    We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilisation.
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    To be a leader of men one must turn one’s back on men.
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
