Darwin

art by HANOCH PIVEN

"The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we

 recognize that we ought to control our thoughts."

"A man who dares to waste one hour of time

has not discovered the value of life."


"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."


"Man is descended from a hairy, tailed 

quadruped, probably arboreal in its habits."


"I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it

 so intolerably dull that it nauseated me."
