Fortune: 58 - 67 of 1340 from Freebsd Fortunes 7

Freebsd Fortunes 7:  58 of 1340

...we must be wary of granting too much power to natural selection
by viewing all basic capacities of our brain as direct adaptations.
I do not doubt that natural selection acted in building our oversized
brains -- and I am equally confidant that our brains became large as
an adaptation for definite roles (probably a complex set of interacting
functions).  But these assumptions do not lead to the notion, often
uncritically embraced by strict Darwinians, that all major capacities
of the brain must arise as direct products of natural selection.
                -- S.J. Gould, "The Mismeasure of Man"

We must finish once and for all with the neutrality of chess.  We must
condemn once and for all the formula 'chess for the sake of chess,' like
the formula 'art for art's sake.'  We must organize shock-brigades of
chess-play ers, and begin the immediate realization of a Five-Year Plan
for chess.
                -- Nikolai V. Krylenko, People's Commissar for Justice
                   (of RFSFR, later of USSR), speaking at a 1932 Congress
                   of Chess Players, as quoted in Boris Souvarine's
                   "Stalin," published London, 1939

...we must not judge the society of the future by considering whether or not
we should like to live in it; the question is whether those who have grown up
in it will be happier than those who have grown up in our society or those of
the past.
                -- Joseph Wood Krutch

We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to
the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his

We prefer to believe that the absence of inverted commas guarantees the
originality of a thought, whereas it may be merely that the utterer has
forgotten its source.
                -- Clifton Fadiman, "Any Number Can Play"
