Random quote of the day:
“If we had been made directly from clay, the way it says in the Bible, and had therefore inherited no intermediate characteristics —if a god, or some principle of growth, had gone that way to work with us, he or it might have molded us into much more splendid forms. But considering our simian descent, it has done very well. The only people who are disappointed in us are those who still believe that clay story. Or who—unconsciously—still let it color their thinking.”
—Clarence Day, This Simian World, 1920
