|  Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal. | | The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic. | | It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine. | | My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts. | | We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities... still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin. | | I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection. | | If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin. | | False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness. | | I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions. | | An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men. |
