“It seems probable that he was trying to yoke the fractious horses of his dream, to straddle transcendental idealism and scientific empiricism,”
Randall Fuller, The Book That Changed America: How Darwin's Theory of Evolution Ignited a Nation

“One night he was awakened by a dream. Astride two fractious, ungovernable horses—literal nightmares—he galloped through the woods. “In my dream I had been riding,” he wrote, “but the horses bit each other and occasioned endless trouble and anxiety, and it was my employment to hold their heads apart.”
Randall Fuller, The Book That Changed America: How Darwin's Theory of Evolution Ignited a Nation

“Which is one reason that by the end of the 1860s, Wallace had become a spiritualist. Like Gray, he too found it impossible to accept Darwin’s purely materialist explanation of the universe. It failed, in his opinion, to account for at least three miraculous events in history: the creation of life from inorganic matter, the birth of consciousness in higher animals, and the appearance of moral faculties in humans.”
