This quote is often attributed to Darwin, but I've found no evidence that he actually wrote it. Famous people are often the focus of misattributions. For example, there must be hundreds of fake Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker quotes out there. |

It is attributed to Darwin everywhere, specifically to the book "The Origin Of Species" 1859, --however I was unable to [quickly] locate the page number. This is searchable, it's not there: The Writings of Charles Darwin on the Web http://pages.britishlibrary.net/charles.darwin/ ..."The most complete collection of Darwin's work ever published- with original page numbers, illustrations etc..." Here's the entire text: http://www.zoo.uib.no/classics/origin.html And a web site with lots of Darwin-obilia MAIN PAGE: http://www.aboutdarwin.com/ LINKS PAGE: http://www.aboutdarwin.com/links/links_01.html Good Luck! ~~Cynthia The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection |

I think it is from Heraclitus, the Greek Philosopher. Don't know from what text though. |

Certainly doesn?t sound like Darwin?s native words. Have you read The Origin of Species? I lost the will to survive by page 3. Best |
