Samuel Butler Quotes
But Independently Of Their Money Value, His Works Had Made Him A Lasting Name In Literature. So Probably Gallio Was Under The Impression That His Fame Would Rest Upon The Treatises On Natural History Which We Gather From Seneca That He Compiled, And Which For Aught We Know May Have Contained A Complete Theory Of Evolution; But The Treatises Are All Gone And Gallio Has Become Immortal For The Very Last Reason In The World That He Expected, And For The Very Last Reason That Would Have Flattered His Vanity. He Has Become Immortal Because He Cared Nothing About The Most Important Movement With Which He Was Ever Brought Into Connection (I Wish People Who Are In Search Of Immortality Would Lay The Lesson To Heart And Not Make So Much Noise About Important Movements), And So, If Dr Skinner Becomes Immortal, It Will Probably Be For Some Reason Very Different From The One Which He So Fondly Imagined.
