Science Quotes by Peter William Atkins (1)
A great deal of the universe does not need any explanation. Elephants, for instance. Once molecules have learnt to compete and to create other molecules in their own image, elephants, and things resembling elephants, will in due course be found roaming around the countryside ... Some of the things resembling elephants will be men.
— Peter William Atkins
The Creation (1981), 3.
