▶ "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."; "We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act."; "To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact."; "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference."; "The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic."; …"The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts."; "On the ordinary view of each species having been independently created, we gain no scientific explanation."; "My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts."; "Man tends to increase at a greater rate than his means of subsistence."; "Man is descended from a hairy, tailed quadruped, probably arboreal in its habits."; "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."; "It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine."; "In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed."; "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."; "If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin."; "I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me."; "I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection."; "I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars."; "I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions."; "How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children."; "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."; "At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world."; "Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal."; "An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men."; "A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone."; "A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others."; "A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."
