• Linnea.... Una planta de Laponia, humilde, insignificante, despreciada, que florece sólo durante un breve espacio - de Linneo que se parece a ella.

• 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, according to which all things appear to have been created.'

• El aire de caricatura nunca deja de mostrarse en los productos de la razón aplicada implacablemente y sin corrección. La observación de los hechos clínicos parecería ser una búsqueda del médico tan inofensiva como indispensable. [Pero] a ciertas mentes les pareció irresistiblemente racional que las enfermedades fueran tan clasificables como los escarabajos y las mariposas. Esta doctrina... dio quizás sus frutos más ricos en las manos de Boissier de Sauvauges. En su Nosologia Methodica, publicada en 1768, este Linneo de cabecera agrupó las enfermedades en diez clases, 295 géneros y 2.400 especies.

• I have rarely read anything which has interested me more, though I have not read as yet more than a quarter of the book proper. From quotations which I had seen, I had a high notion of Aristotle's merits, but I had not the most remote notion what a wonderful man he was. Linnaeus and Cuvier have been my two gods, though in very different ways, but they were mere schoolboys to old Aristotle.

• The interpretations of science do not give us this intimate sense of objects as the interpretations of poetry give it; they appeal to a limited faculty, and not to the whole man. It is not Linnaeus or Cavendish or Cuvier who gives us the true sense of animals, or water, or plants, who seizes their secret for us, who makes us participate in their life; it is Shakspeare [sic] … Wordsworth … Keats … Chateaubriand … Senancour.
