Jacques Monod

Modern societies accepted the treasures and the power offered them by science. But they have not accepted - they have scarcely even heard - its profounder message: the defining of a new and unique source of truth, and the demand for a thorough revision of ethical premises, for a complete break with the animist tradition, the definitive abandonment of the 'old covenant', the necessity of forging a new one. Armed with all the powers, enjoying all the riches they owe to science, our societies are still trying to live by and to teach systems of values already blasted at the root by science itself.

The meaning that we are seeking in evolution is its meaning to us, to man. The ethics of evolution must be human ethics.

George Gaylord Simpson

Man stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconscious, impersonal, material process with unique understanding and potentialities.

He can and must decide and manage his own destiny.

Louis Menand

It’s all in the genes”: an explanation for the way things are that does not threaten the way things are.

The problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. Each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other. Yet we tend to wed with explicit visions of what a “good” marriage ought to be like. Then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.
