Lorenz Oken Quotes:
Ocupation: Naturalist
Life: August 1, 1779 - August 11, 1851
Birthday: August 1
Death: August 11

It has to portray the first periods of the world's development from nothing; how the elements and heavenly bodies originated; in what method by self-evolution into higher and manifold forms, they separated into minerals, became finally organic, and in Man attained self-consciousness.
