ARCH 1102 Studio Exp 2 -The Three Quotes-

Charles Darwin

“Doing what little one can to increase the general stock of knowledge is as respectable an object of life, as one can in any likelihood pursue"
http://www.darwin-literature.com/l_quotes.html


Florence Nightingale

"Women never have a half-hour in all their lives (excepting before or after anybody is up in the house) that they can call their own, without fear of offending or of hurting someone. Why do people sit up so late, or, more rarely, get up so early? Not because the day is not long enough, but because they have 'no time in the day to themselves." [1852]

Stephen Hawking

"It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value."
