Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)

    “Our species successfully raised children for tens of thousands of years before the first person wrote down the word “psychology.” The fundamental skills needed to be a parent are within us. All we’re really doing is fine-tuning a process that’s already remarkably successful.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    “Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits—inasmuch as these two species always exist—occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
