From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2010-05-07:
"Charles Darwin spoke of the 'survival of the fittest' as being a central factor in the process of evolution. What exactly did he mean by that phrase? The following quote from his seminal book, The Origin of Species, makes it clear: 'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.'" -- Rob Brezsny, popular astrologer(submitted to the mailing list by Bob Bruhin)</p>
