Lowly Worm

Famous quotes containing the words lowly and/or worm:

“Man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system—with all these exalted powers—man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)

“Son of the village chief,
you’re pitiless,
scared of your wife
and as difficult to see
as a worm in bitter fruit.
The village is starving itself over you
in spite of it all.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
