Richard Dawkins

Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation forthe existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind.

If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.

Russell Hoban

Too-lateness, I realized, has nothing to do with age. It’s a relation of self to the moment. Or not, depending on the person and the moment. Perhaps there even comes a time when it’s no longer too late for anything.

Nothing to lose, the present moment to gain, the integration with long-delayed Now.

Russell Brand
