Alfred Russel Wallace Quotes

{Letter To His Brother, 1861}

... I Remain An Utter Disbeliever In Almost All That You Consider The Most Sacred Truths... But Whether There Be A God And Whatever Be His Nature; Whether We Have An Immortal Soul Or Not, Or Whatever May Be Our State After Death, I Can Have No Fear Of Having To Suffer For The Study Of Nature And The Search For Truth, Or Believe That Those Will Be Better Off In A Future State Who Have Lived In The Belief Of Doctrines Inculcated From Childhood, And Which Are To Them Rather A Matter Of Blind Faith Than Intelligent Conviction.
