Eve Ellis

Famous quotes containing the words eve and/or ellis:

    When Adam delved and Eve span,
    Who was then the gentleman?
    John Ball (hanged 1381)

    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)
