Evolution Quotes

The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an improved theory, is it then a science or faith? Picture Quote #1

Our aim must be to make our successive mistakes as quickly as possible. To speed up evolution Picture Quote #1

Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and I don’t see you jumping out of buildings Picture Quote #1

Why didn’t evolution make a giraffe good at carpentry so it could build a ladder? Picture Quote #1

May it not suffice for me to say... that of course like every other man of intelligence and education I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised Picture Quote #1

Evolution did not intend trees to grow singly. Far more than ourselves they are social creatures, and no more natural as isolated specimens than man is as a marooned sailor or hermit Picture Quote #1

Fear, in evolution, has a special prominence: perhaps more than any other emotion it is crucial for survival Picture Quote #1

The next step in human evolution is to transcend thought. This is now our urgent task. It doesn’t mean not to think anymore, but simply not to be completely identified with thought, possessed by thought Picture Quote #1

The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency; otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster Picture Quote #1

Maybe you reach a certain point in evolution where boredom is the greatest threat to your survival. Maybe this isn’t a planetary takeover at all, but a game. Like a kid pulling wings off flies Picture Quote #1

We are the product of 4.5 billion years of fortuitous, slow biological evolution. There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped. Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation Picture Quote #1

Your true evolution is not what you do out there. That’s secondary. Your true evolution is to do with the arising of awareness in you as you go about your life Picture Quote #1

Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego Picture Quote #1

Evolution has been observed. It’s just that it hasn’t been observed while it’s happening Picture Quote #1

We can move no faster than the evolution of our language, and this is certainly part of what the psychedelics are about: they force the evolution of language Picture Quote #1

The next step in human evolution is not inevitable, but for the first time in the history of the planet, it can be a conscious choice. Who is making that choice? You are. And who are you? Consciousness that has become conscious of itself Picture Quote #1

Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve Picture Quote #1

This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such Picture Quote #1

In the process of evolution, the body lasts for some time and then will take other body and take other body and take other body until the final redemption from diversity is transcended Picture Quote #1

At this early stage in our evolution, now through our infancy and into our childhood and then, with luck, our growing up, what our species needs most of all, right now, is simply a future Picture Quote #1

Words have a genealogy and it’s easier to trace the evolution of a single word than the evolution of a language Picture Quote #1

The endorsement process is an evolution. What you try to do is you endorse someone that you believe in and their ideas and their solutions align with yours Picture Quote #1

The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind’s evolution born anew in the brain structure of every individual Picture Quote #1

Matter is, in its constituent elements, the same as spirit; existence is one, however manifold in its phenomena; life is one, however multiform in its evolution Picture Quote #1

The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge Picture Quote #1

I do feel that evolution is being controlled by some sort of divine engineer. I can’t help thinking that. And this engineer knows exactly what he or she is doing and why, and where evolution is headed. That’s why we’ve got giraffes and hippopotami and the clap Picture Quote #1

It is an error to imagine that evolution signifies a constant tendency to increased perfection. That process undoubtedly involves a constant remodeling of the organism in adaptation to new conditions; but it depends on the nature of those conditions whether the direction of the modifications effected shall be upward or downward Picture Quote #1

Has joy any survival value in the operations of evolution? I suspect that it does; I suspect that the morose and fearful are doomed to quick extinction. Where there is no joy there can be no courage; and without courage all other virtues are useless Picture Quote #1

Evolution made civilization steward of this planet. A hundred thousand years later, the steward stood before evolution not helper but destroyer, not healer but parasite. So evolution withdrew its gift, passed civilization by, rescued the planet from intelligence and handed it to love Picture Quote #1

Evolution has meant that our prefrontal lobes are too small, our adrenal glands are too big, and our reproductive organs apparently designed by committee; a recipe which, alone or in combination, is very certain to lead to some unhappiness and disorder Picture Quote #1
