Charles Darwin (an English naturalist)

As quoted by Charles Darwin in 1859:
"As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently, there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of surviving, and thus be naturally selected. From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its now and modified form."

Stephen Hawking (a British theoretical physicist)

As quoted by Stephen Hawking in an interview on TED in 2008:
"If we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, we should make sure we survive and continue. But we are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. Our population and our use of the fine eyed resources of planet earth are growing exponentially along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or for ill. But our genetic code still carries a cell efficient aggressive instincts that we're a survival advantage in the past. Our only handsome long term survival is not to remain invert looking on planet earth, but to spread out into space."
