Carolus Linnaeus Quotes

“Linnaeus and Cuvier have been my two gods, though in very different ways, but they were mere schoolboys to old Aristotle.”
― Charles Darwin, The Life & Letters of Charles Darwin

“Linnaeus had it constantly in mind: 'The closer we get to know the creatures around us, the clearer is the understanding we obtain of the chain of nature, and its harmony and system'.”
― Sten Lindroth
