Text Quotes
It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on (Selection Quotes)
Since natural selection requires a function to select, an irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would have to arise as an integrated unit for natural selection to have anything to act on (Selection Quotes)
The difficulty of looking at a system like natural selection if you have any sort of moral sense yourself, is almost what makes it beautiful (Selection Quotes)
You can have many different selection systems, but the bottom line has to be a system that, once the judge takes office that judge will feel that he or she is to decide the case without reference to the popular thing or the popular will of the moment (Selection Quotes)
Men seek for vocabularies that are reflections of reality. To this end, they must develop vocabularies that are selections of reality. And any selection of reality must, in certain circumstances, function as a deflection of reality (Selection Quotes)
The role of a museum of modern art is to make a good selection and identify what we believe to be the coming movements, and that requires taste (Selection Quotes)
When the poet makes his perfect selection of a word, he is endowing the word with life (Selection Quotes)
The great philosophers and the great works are standards for the selection of what is essential. Everything that we do in studying the history of philosophy ultimately serves their better understanding (Selection Quotes)
In microbiology the roles of mutation and selection in evolution are coming to be better understood through the use of bacterial cultures of mutant strains (Selection Quotes)
Humans are just barely intelligent tool users; Darwinian evolutionary selection stopped when language and tool use converged, leaving the average hairy meme carrier sadly deficient in smarts (Selection Quotes)
Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species (Selection Quotes)
Jury selection is strictly an emotional process. They’re looking for people they can manipulate. Both sides are (Selection Quotes)
It is essential for genetic material to be able to make exact copies of itself; otherwise growth would produce disorder, life could not originate, and favourable forms would not be perpetuated by natural selection (Selection Quotes)
You have to edit the material. That assumes that some kind of a mind is operating in relation to the material. Not all minds are the same. Every aspect of filmmaking requires choice. The selection of the subject, the shooting, editing and length are all aspects of choice (Selection Quotes)
One of the effects of civilization is to diminish the rigour of the application of the law of natural selection. It preserves weakly lives that would have perished in barbarous lands (Selection Quotes)
Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning, and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom (Selection Quotes)
Natural selection does not give any preference at all to anything that, in the long run, could be advantageous for the species but blindly rewards everything that, momentarily, affords greater procreative success (Selection Quotes)
Culture represents a novelty in the world of nature, and it could have added an effective, unifying edge to the forces of natural selection (Selection Quotes)
We’re all just people, some of us accidentally connected by genetics, a random selection of cells. Nothing more (Selection Quotes)
History has to be rewritten because history is the selection of those threads of causes or antecedents that we are interested in (Selection Quotes)
The millionaires are a product of natural selection... the naturally selected agents of society for certain work. They get high wages and live in luxury, but the bargain is a good one for society (Selection Quotes)
Evolution advances, not by a priori design, but by the selection of what works best out of whatever choices offer. We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship (Selection Quotes)
It is natural selection that gives direction to changes, orients chance, and slowly, progressively produces more complex structures, new organs, and new species. Novelties come from previously unseen association of old material. To create is to recombine (Selection Quotes)
Even today a good many distinguished minds seem unable to accept or even to understand that from a source of noise natural selection alone and unaided could have drawn all the music of the biosphere. In effect natural selection operates upon the products of chance and can feed nowhere else; but it operates in a domain of very demanding conditions, and from this domain chance is barred. It is not to chance but to these conditions that eveloution owes its generally progressive cource, its successive conquests, and the impresssion it gives of a smooth and steady unfolding (Selection Quotes)
Nothing drives progress like the imagination. The idea precedes the deed. The only exceptions are accidents and natural selection (Selection Quotes)
The resolution of revolutions is selection by conflict within the scientific community of the fittest way to practice future science. The net result of a sequence of such revolutionary selections, separated by periods of normal research, is the wonderfully adapted set of instruments we call modern scientific knowledge (Selection Quotes)
When environments change, they usually do so pretty rapidly, at rates with which adaptation by natural selection would be hard put to keep up. When such change occurs, the quality of your adaptation to your old habitat is irrelevant, and any competitive advantage you might have had may be eliminated at a stroke (Selection Quotes)
Tapping melons with your knuckles is a good way of making your selection in the store, but apparently it’s frowned upon at the strip club (Selection Quotes)
Why not directing? There’s no big mystery about it. It’s – well, it’s just having a point of view and – and a certain amount of selection and taste (Selection Quotes)
Even if any given terminology is a reflection of reality, by its very nature as a terminology it must be a selection of reality; and to this extent it must function also as a deflection of reality (Selection Quotes)
