Separate Species

Famous quotes containing the words separate and/or species:

    “How separate and unearthly love is,
    Or women are, or what they do,
    Or in our young unreal wishes
    Seem to be: synthetic, new,
    And natureless in ecstasies.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Can it then be doubted, but that God, who is infinitely fine Spirit, and withal intelligent, can make and change all species and kind of body as he pleaseth? But I dare not say, that this is the way by which God Almighty worketh, because it is past my apprehension: yet it serves very well to demonstrate, that the omnipotence of God implieth no contradiction.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
