Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail (1979)
We pass the word around; we ponder how the case is put by different people, we read the poetry; we meditate over the literature; we play the music; we change our minds; we reach an understanding. Society evolves this way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other.
Great short quote and quotation by: Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail (1979) , US author, biologist, physician (1913 – 1993)
