“Humanity, let us say, is like people packed in an automobile which is traveling downhill without lights at terrific speed and driven by a four-year-old child. The signposts along the way are all marked 'Progress.”
“Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow`s speed.”
“As a child I had wanted to become an automobile, but then I grew up to be thirty years old.”
“…the universe…sets out little signposts for us along the way, to confirm that we’re on the right path.” (p.XV)”
“The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.”
“The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster.”
