    I don’t know about this quote specificly, but Darwin spent almost 10 years working on barnacles to establish himself and came to hate them. It was supposed to be a quick detour before releasing ‘On the Origin of Species’. During that time he made a lot of similar statements.

    Where are you getting anything about a ship?

      Darwin is well known for his voyage on the HMS Beagle, but there is no mention of that in the post.

  If you compare “rough weeks” with Darwin, I guess 99.99% of the population will discover they are extremely happy.
