“Eddie did not die. He is no longer on Channel 4, and our sets are tuned to Channel 4; hes on Channel 7, but hes still broadcasting. Physical incarnation is highly overrated; it is one corner of universal possibility.”
—Marianne Williamson (b. 1953)
“Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.”
—Stuart Chase (18881985)
“In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beautyhe forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the worldalas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
