282 페이지 - Let this process go on for millions of years; and during each year on millions of individuals of many kinds; and may we not believe that a living optical instrument might thus be formed as superior to one of glass, as the works of the Creator are to those of man?
270 페이지 - I have already employed, women very rarely love truth, though they love passionately what they call ' the truth,' or opinions they have received from others, and hate vehemently those who differ from them. They are little capable of impartiality or of doubt ; their thinking is chiefly a mode of feeling ; though very generous in their acts, they are rarely generous in their opinions, and their leaning is naturally to the side of restriction.
50 페이지 - Lastly, I assume that the gemmules in their dormant state have a mutual affinity for each other, leading to their aggregation into buds or into the sexual elements.
266 페이지 - The principal and most characteristic aberration of speculative minds as such, consists precisely in the deficiency of this lively perception and ever-present sense of objective fact. For want of this, they often not only overlook the contradiction which outward facts oppose to their theories, but lose sight of the legitimate purpose of speculation altogether, and let...
215 페이지 - Just as man can improve the breed of his gamecocks by the selection of those birds which are victorious in the cockpit, so it appears that the strongest and most vigorous males, or those provided with the best weapons, have prevailed under nature, and have led to the improvement of the natural breed or species.
282 페이지 - ... the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real.
284 페이지 - ... guidance of methodical selection. The comparison would be in every way fairer with the effects which follow from unconscious selection, that is the preservation of the most useful or beautiful animals, with no intention of modifying the breed ; but by this process of unconscious selection, various breeds have been sensibly changed in the course of two or three centuries.
50 페이지 - Their development is supposed to depend on their union with other partially developed cells or gemmules which precede them in the regular course of growth. Why I use the term union will be seen when we discuss the direct action of pollen on the tissues of the mother-plant. Gemmules are supposed to be thrown off by every cell or unit, not only during the adult state, but during all the stages of development.
270 페이지 - Their imaginations individualise more ; their affections are, in consequence, concentrated rather on leaders than on causes ; and if they care for a great cause, it is generally because it is represented by a great man, or connected with some one whom they love. In politics, their enthusiasm is more naturally loyalty than patriotism.
