"Innate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. It basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there. Accuracy is not necessary except in the case of aggressive, acquisitive natures, when it manifests itself in a desire to seize. True controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate."

-- Theodore Dreiser

To this must be added the theory of natural selection, whose certainty and full significance were established only by those later theories.”

I would just not want to keep heading too far in one direction, without pulling off and going the other way. That is what is fun for me.”
