“Nothing is easier than to admit in words the truth of the universal
struggle for life, or more difficult--at least I have found it so--than
constantly to bear this conclusion in mind. Yet unless it be thoroughly
engrained in the mind, the whole economy of nature, with every fact on
distribution, rarity, abundance, extinction, and variation, will be
dimly seen or quite misunderstood.”--DARWIN.
“Every reflective biologist must know that no living being is
self-sufficient, or would be what it is, or be at all, if it were not
part of the natural world, although no truth is easier to lose sight
of. Living things are real things, ... but their reality is in their
interrelations with the rest of nature, and not in themselves.”--W. K.
