“The obsession with putting ourselves at the centre of everything is the bane not only of theologians but also of zoologists.”

Alan Hodgkin“Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn't been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields.”
Steve Jobs“The zoologists who came from Germany to inseminate the elephantwore bicycle helmets and protective rubber suits.So as not to be soiled by effluvium and excrement,which will alchemize to produce laughter in the human species,how does that work biochemically is a questionto which I have not found an answer yet.”
Lucia Perillo, Inseminating the Elephant“A zoologist who observed gorillas in their native habitat was amazed by the uniformity of their life and their vast idleness. Hours and hours without doing anything. Was boredom unknown to them? This is indeed a question raised by a human, a busy ape. Far from fleeing monotony, animals crave it, and what they most dread is to see it end. For it ends, only to be replaced by fear, the cause of all activity. Inaction is divine; yet it is against inaction that man has rebelled. Man alone, in nature, is incapable of enduring monotony, man alone wants something to happen at all costs—something, anything.... Thereby he shows himself unworthy of his ancestor: the need for novelty is the characteristic of an alienated gorilla.”
Emil M. Cioran“Life is not found in atoms or molecules or genes as such, but in organization; not in symbiosis but in synthesis.”
Edwin Grant Conklin“Evolution on the large scale unfolds, like much of human history, as a succession of dynasties.”
Edmund Beecher Wilson
