Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or form:
“I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. Ive fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobodys going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless Im crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no minds eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
