I feel most deeply that this whole question of Creation is too
profound for human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the
mind of Newton! Let each man hope and believe what he can.
--_Charles Darwin to Asa Gray_
None have fought better, and none have been more fortunate, than
Charles Darwin. He found a great truth trodden underfoot, reviled
by bigots, and ridiculed by all the world; he lived long enough to
see it, chiefly by his own efforts, irrefragably established in
science, inseparably incorporated into the common thoughts of men.
What shall a man desire more than this?
--_Thomas Huxley, Address, April Twenty-seventh, Eighteen Hundred
Eighty-two_
