“How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light⟳, hardly concerns us more than how life itself originated; but I may remark⟳ that, as some of the lowest organisms, in which nerves cannot be detected, are known to be sensitive to light⟳, it does not seem impossible that certain elements in their tissues or sarcode should have⟳ become⟳ aggregated and developed into nerves endowed with this special sensibility to its action.”

“The amoeba — a mere shapeless mass of moving sarcode — digests rapidly and constantly without a trace of organism! An organism when dead we assume⟳ to be chemically the same as the living organism, but we cannot prove⟳ it.”
