The Un-Familiar Quotes

“Once upon a time, a long, long, long time ago, atoms begat chemical reactions begat molecules begat life. Life responds to stimuli, but it took another 3 billion years before living beings begat the concept of cause and effect. After another 300 million years, cause begat blame. Blame dissociated consequences from action, relieving believers of personal responsibility, and thus blamers begat blamees. Gods.”
