More quotes by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
In the year 1657 I discovered very small living creatures in rain water.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Examining this water...I found floating therein divers earthy particles, and some green streaks, spirally wound serpent-wise...and I judge that some of these little creatures were above a thousand times smaller than the smallest ones I have ever yet seen, upon the rind of cheese, in wheaten flour, mould, and the like.
