John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

6688 Charles Robert Darwin 1809-1882 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6688
AUTHOR:Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882)
QUOTATION:  Believing as I do that man in the distant future will be a far more perfect creature than he now is, it is an intolerable thought that he and all other sentient beings are doomed to complete annihilation after such long-continued slow progress. To those who fully admit the immortality of the human soul, the destruction of our world will not appear so dreadful.
