Quote by Richard Dawkins

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

"The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference."

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones."

"An atheist before Darwin could have said, plausibly, that the visual marks of design in nature were evidence for a creator. But Darwin made a new kind of explanation possible."
