#Man has a mind that #soars out to #speculate about #atoms and #infinity, who can place himself #imaginatively at a point in space and contemplate #bemusedly his own #planet. This #immense #expansion, this #dexterity, this #ethereality, this self-consciousness gives to man literally the status of a small #god in #nature. Yet, at the same time, man is a #worm and #food for #worms. -Ernest Becker (at Los Angeles, California)
