Letters and Reminiscences


I have long recognised how much clearer and deeper your insight into matters is than mine. I sometimes marvel how truth progresses, so difficult is it for one man to convince another, unless his mind is vacant. I grieve to differ from you, and it actually terrifies me, and makes me constantly distrust myself. I fear we shall never quite understand each other. —DARWIN TO WALLACE.
