Famous quotes containing the word evolution:

    “The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    “Analyze theory-building how we will, we all must start in the middle. Our conceptual firsts are middle-sized, middle-distanced objects, and our introduction to them and to everything comes midway in the cultural evolution of the race.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “The evolution of a highly destined society must be moral; it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
