"They may constitute a separate and failed experiment in animal life, or they may represent a full range of diploblastic (two-layered) organization, of which the modern phylum Cnidaria (corals, jelly fishes and their allies) remains as a small and much altered remnant" (Stephen J. Gould "The Evolution of Life on the Earth" p. 67 Scientific American October 1994)

 "the expansion is similar to a rising loaf of raisin bread. The dough expands, the raisins move apart. Moreover, the speed with which any two raisins move apart is directly and positively related to the amount of dough separating them" (J. Peebles "The Evolution of the Universe" p.30 Scientific American October 94)
