I don't remember the quote verbatim but I read something in "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins - which really felt like a jolt. The book says that an evolutionary stable strategy is one that is immune to treachery from within and needn't be the one that is the most beneficial to the group. Once I digested this, it seemed obvious but when I read that the first time, it really caught me off guard. Also, Lewis Carroll's quote: 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.' still makes me think about how we use language.
