Letter "E" » Evolution
"Or ever the knightly years were gone
With the old world to the grave,
I was a king in Babylon
And you were a Christian slave."
Author: William Ernest Henley
About: Evolution
"Children, behold the Chimpanzee;
He sits on the ancestral tree
From which we sprang in ages gone.
I'm glad we sprang: had we held on,
We might, for aught that I can say,
Be horrid Chimpanzees to-day."
Author: Oliver Herford
About: Evolution
"We seem to exist in a hazardous time,
Driftin' along here through space;
Nobody knows just when we begun,
Or how fur we've gone in the race."
Author: Benjamin Franklin King, Jr.
About: Evolution
"Pouter, tumbler, and fantail are from the same source;
The racer and hack may be traced to one Horse;
So men were developed from monkeys of course,
Which nobody can deny."

"I was at Euphorbus at the siege of Troy."
Author: Lord Charles Neaves
About: Evolution
"For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an
unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association

[Lat., Equidem aeterna constitutione crediderim nexuque causarum
atentium et multo ante destinatarum suum quemque ordinem
immutabili lege percurrere.]"
Author: Quintus Curtius Rufus (Curtis Rufus Quintus)
About: Evolution
"When you were a tadpole, and I was a fish,
In the Palaeozoic time,
And side by side in the sluggish tide
We sprawled in the ooze and slime."
Author: Langdon Smith
About: Evolution
"Civilization is a progress from an indefinite, incoherent
homogeneity toward a definite, coherent heterogeneity."
Author: Herbert Spencer
About: Evolution
"This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express
in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called "natural
selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle
for life."
Author: Herbert Spencer
About: Evolution
"Out of the dusk a shadow,
Then a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,
Then a lark;
Out of the heart a rapture,
Then a pain;
Out of the dead, cold ashes,
Life again."
Author: John Banister Tabb
