“Evolution is the law of policies: Darwin said it, Socrates endorsed it...” — Mark Twain Quote

Evolution is the law of policies: Darwin said it, Socrates endorsed it, Cuvier proved it and established it for all time in his paper on 'The Survival of the Fittest.' These are illustrious names, this is a mighty doctrine: nothing can ever remove it from its firm base, nothing dissolve it, but evolution.

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.

Natural,my ass! The worst poison known to man comes from a tree frog in South America. You cannot imagine how small an amount would be necessary to kill you.and it's natural.Calling something NATURAL is a MEANINGLESS MARKETING PLOY.

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us the less taste we shall have for the destruction of our race. Wonder and humility are wholesome emotions, and they do not exist side by side with a lust for destruction.

You know, intelligence is massively overrated as an adaptive trait. Seriously. Dinosaurs, pretty dumb, right? And yet they survived for a hundred and sixty-seven million years. And we, homo sapiens—geniuses by comparison—only have about 200,000 years so far. But with our huge cranial cavities, they're so small. We already have the capacity to annihilate ourselves. I doubt we even make it to one million. We don't rule the earth. We just think we do. I mean, sure, we're changing the environment but that makes us the ones to worry about—not the planet. When the earth gets tired of us, believe me, it will shake us off like a summer cold. Of all species that have existed on Earth, 99.99% of them are extinct.
