 The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic

 The Theory of Evolution.

 The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference

 The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.

 There is Grandeur in this view of life,
