Biology Quote by Aldous Huxley
“In the course of evolution nature has gone to endless trouble to see that every individual is unlike every other individual…Physically and mentally, each one of us is unique. Any culture which, in the interests of efficiency or in the name of some political or religious dogma, seeks to standardize the human individual, commits an outrage against man's biological nature.”
