Dorion Sagan Quote

No animal has ever really completely left the watery microcosm. The blastula and embryo still develop in the primeval wetness and buoyancy of the womb... No matter how high and dry the mountain top, no matter how secluded and modern the retreat, we sweat and cry what is basically seawater.

Microcosmos - Chapter 11 (pp. 183, 184), Summit Books. 1986
