"The mule always appears to me a most surprising animal.
That a hybrid should possess more reason, memory, obstinacy,
social affection, powers of muscular endurance, and length
of life, than either of its parents, seems to indicate that
art has here outdone nature."

- Charles Darwin
from The Voyage of the Beagle

" . . .  as his face turned toward an earth so resplendent that it hurt his eyes,
he felt at his back and all about him the unconquerable dark, and it licked the light
on his face. Sometimes abruptly he turned to face it, letting it envelop and pervade him,
with a kind of relief. Then he heard more clearly the sounds of those at work,
the daughter calling to her goats, the father cursing his mule."

- Samuel Beckett
from Malone Dies


"Papa brought home the sugar/ Mama taught me the deeper meaning"

- Joni Mitchell


"There is a middle way between nihilism and eternalism - you have what you have while you have it.
It is better to have had sugar for a while than never to have had it. Likewise, if everything
was sugar there would be no sugar."

- Larry Lumpf
