Body Quote by Charles Darwin
![“Among the scenes which are deeply impressed on my mind, none exceed in sublimity the primeval [tropical] forests, ... temples filled with the varied productions of the God of Nature. No one can stand in these solitudes unmoved, and not feel that there is more in man than the mere breath of his body.” quote by Charles Darwin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b7b/charles-darwin-507_body_among-the-scenes-which-are-deeply-impres_2214332.jpg)
