Jacques Loeb Quotes

• El hombre es un megalómano entre los animales: si ve montañas, tratará de imitarlas con pirámides, y si ve algún gran proceso como la evolución, y piensa que le sería posible participar en ese juego, irreverentemente tendrá que intentarlo también. Esa atrevida megalomanía suya, ¿no le ha llevado a su situación actual?
