“Man is a restless creature, nomadic at heart.”
“Is there any instinct more deeply implanted in the heart of man than the pride of protection, a protection which is constantly exerted for a fragile and defenceless creature?”
“Man is not only that creature that forges tools, that reasons, and that walks upright. Man is the creature that looks up. Man praises.”
“Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men.”
“God help thee, old man, thy thoughts have created a creature in thee; and he whose intense thinking thus makes him a Prometheus; a vulture feeds upon that heart forever; the vulture the very creature he creates.”
“His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small restless body.”
