"Owing
to this struggle for life, any variation, however slight and from whatever cause proceeding, if it be in any degree profitable to an individual of any species, in its infinitely complex relationship to other organic beings and to external nature, will tend to the preservation of that individual, and will generally be inherited by its offspring."Charles Darwin, "Chapter 3: Struggle for Existence", from The Origin of Species (London: Penguin Group, 1985), 115.

"It is pos
sible for space-time to be finite in extent and yet to have no singularities that form a boundary or an edge. Space-time would be like the surface of the earth . . .The surface of the earth is finite in extent but it doesn't have a boundary or edge: If you sailed off into the sunset, you don't fall off the edge or run into a singularity." Stephen Hawking, "Chapter 8: The Origin and Fate of the Universe", from A Brief History of Time: from the big bang to black holes (New York: Bantam Books, 1990), 135.
