"The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking, and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals."
"Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture and very much to our credit."
