الصفحة 51 - The loss of these tastes, is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature.
الصفحة 173 - At last gleams of light have come, and I am almost convinced (quite contrary to the opinion I started with) that species are not (it is like confessing a murder) immutable.
الصفحة 185 - I never saw a more striking coincidence ; if Wallace had my MS. sketch written out in 1842, he could not have made a better short abstract ! Even his terms now stand as heads of my chapters.
الصفحة 27 - The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life, and has determined my whole career...

My first note-book was opened in July 1837. 1 worked on true Baconian principles, and without any theory collected facts on a whole-sale scale...
الصفحة 239 - I asserted — and I repeat — that a man has no reason to be ashamed of having an ape for his grandfather. If there were an ancestor whom I should feel shame in recalling it would rather be a man — a man of restless and versatile intellect — who, not content with an equivocal success in his own sphere of activity, plunges into scientific questions with which he has no real acquaintance...
