What God originates, God orchestrates..

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible..

There is beauty in everything, Just not everybody sees it.

Swallows and Amazons for-ever!.

Some changes are so slow, you don't notice them, others are so fast, they don't notice you..

Great is the power of steady misrepresentation.

One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die..

We behold the face of nature bright with gladness..

Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the being which she tends..

... not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to a distant futurity..

Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms..

Mere chance ... alone would never account for so habitual and large an amount of difference as that between varieties of the same species..

I am almost convinced (quite contrary to opinion I started with) that species are not (it is like confessing a murder) immutable..

His subject is the "Origin of Species," & not the origin of Organization; & it seems a needless mischief to have opened the latter speculation at all..
