Favorite Charles Darwin on-liners

Never realized that Charles Darwin wrote so many one-liners. He's my kind of guy!


"I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me."

"The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!"


“An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus was wiser than many men.”


“We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized that they were inside us.”


"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders."


"I love fools' experiments. I am always making them"


"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."
