information on one of the most fascinating figures in the history
of science. |
"Whenever we depart from the great principles of truth and honesty, of equal freedom and justice to all men whether in our relations with other states, or in our dealings with our fellow-men, the evil that we do surely comes back to us, and the suffering and poverty and crime of which we are the direct or indirect causes, help to impoverish ourselves." (from Bad Times, 1885) |
"Truth
is born into this world only with pangs and tribulations, and every
fresh truth is received unwillingly. To expect the world to receive
a new truth, or even an old truth, without challenging it, is to look
for one of those miracles which do not occur." (from
an interview of Wallace published posthumously in 1913)
