Slimy Sal could't resist to quotemine Darwin:
| Quote | Reminds me of the life of another evolutionist:
"I was much given to inventing deliberate falsehoods, and this was always done for the sake of causing excitement”
Charles Darwin |
As usual, the context changes the picture:
| Quote | | One little event during this year has fixed itself very firmly in my mind, and I hope that it has done so from my conscience having been afterwards sorely troubled by it; it is curious as showing that apparently I was interested at this early age in the variability of plants! I told another little boy (I believe it was Leighton, who afterwards became a well-known lichenologist and botanist), that I could produce variously coloured polyanthuses and primroses by watering them with certain coloured fluids, which was of course a monstrous fable, and had never been tried by me. I may here also confess that as a little boy I was much given to inventing deliberate falsehoods, and this was always done for the sake of causing excitement. |
