'The great power of evolution, through natural and sexual selection alike, is that so much order can be created without the process needing to go anywhere at all. This is why it explains so much and so little at once - and why at the end it really is not all that satisfying, because it says little about the precise nature of the beauty that surrounds us. Perhaps the most important things are those about which the least can be said. Was science never meant to capture wonder?'
David Rothenberg, Survival of the Beautiful: Art, Science and Evolution, p.45.
