“Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The fact that humans are tweeting more than birds now...is this evolution?”
Amber Nicole Limbaugh
“Human beings were not well served by permanence or stasis. Obviously, if individuals were progressing, they were undergoing a series of presumably desirable alterations, but in a universe where flux is fundamental, it can be argued that even change for the worse is preferable to no change at all. Isn't fixity the hallmark of the living dead?”
Tom Robbins
“God created a masterpiece. Now the creation is pissing all over the canvas.”
Rain Bojangles
“All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.”
George Bernard Shaw
“While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.”
Mark Twain
