"It is an interesting thing to stand by an overgrown shore covered with a variety of plants, birds singing in the bushes, insects flying in the air, and worms crawling in the moist earth, and wondering how all these delicately arranged forms, so different, and which are so they depend on each other in a complicated way, they were created one by one by laws that still operate around us today.

""Érdekes dolog megállni egy kuszán benőtt part mellett, amelyet sokféle növény borít, madarak dalolnak a bokrokban, a levegőben rovarok röpködnek, és férgek másznak a nedves földben, és eltűnődni azon, hogy mindezeket a finom gonddal szerkesztett formákat, amelyek annyira különbözők, és amelyek oly bonyolult módon függnek egymástól, egytől egyig olyan törvények hozták létre, melyek ma is működnek körülöttünk."
