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."

Pair vintage sexist ads with Donald Trump quotes

... and you get Making America Misogynistic Again by an artist who calls himself Saint Hoax.

"Saint Hoax is a pseudonymous Syrian artist, satirist and sociopolitical activist. He combines politics with popular culture to create POPlitically incorrect statements. By manipulating images and icons, Hoax creates beautiful visual lies that tell an ugly truth."

Shameful comments about women by politicians

Yeah, and you probably thought Trump was the only one.

Artists Zoë Buckman and Natalie Frank collected these quotes and put them on a 30 foot long wall for all to see. They named it 'We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident'. Shame on them.
They took the title from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions," delivered in 1848 at the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York.
