Simplified Complexity

“We cannot fathom the marvelous complexity
of an organic being;
but on the hypothesis here advanced
this complexity is much increased.
Each living creature must be looked at
as a microcosm--a little universe,
formed of a host of self-propagating organisms,
inconceivably minute and as numerous
as the stars in heaven.”

-Charles Darwin

Tree Frog

 "It it's your job to eat a frog,
it's best to do it first thing in the morning.
And if it's your job to eat two frogs,
it's best to eat the biggest one first."

-Mark Twain

Bubble Fish

"If you judge a fish on its ability to climb,
that fish is going to live its whole life
thinking it is stupid."

-Albert Einstein
