Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.

C'est dangereux le succès. On commence à se copier soi-même et se copier soi-même est plus dangereux que de copier les autres.

The history of evolution is that life escapes all barriers. Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.

Another quote about Success

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there–good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

Another quote originally in French

The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is.
