‘I almost made up my mindto begin collecting all theinsects which I could finddead, for on consulting mysister I concluded that it wasnot right to kill insects for the
sake of making a collection.’
‘I was led to attend closely toseveral branches of naturalhistory, thus my powers ofobservation were improved.’
(Darwin aged about 9 or 10)
