“The horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would anyone trust the conviction of a monkey’s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?” ~ Charles Darwin

“It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason

that you must cry Halt, for if you don’t,

all thought is discredited”

~ C. S. Lewis

Darwin’s quote from a letter to W. Graham (July 3, 1881) quoted in The Autobiography of Charles Darwin and Selected Letters
