“But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.” MenMayDreamStarsBornKnownWonderAngelMiracleMurderPeacefulFallenAccomplishedKillersOur DreamsCorpsesSymphonyApesBattlefieldsMissilesRisenTreatiesAcresMassacresFallen AngelsHe Has Risen Book:AFRICAN GENISIS Source: AFRICAN GENISIS

As long as we have had minds to think with, stars to ponder upon, dreams to disturb us, curiosity to inspire us, hours free for meditation, words to place our thoughts in order, the question like a restless ghost has prowled the cellars of our consciousness.” ThinkingMenMindLongDreamOrderStarsHoursConsciousnessMeditationInspireCuriosityGhostOur ThoughtsRestlessPonderingCellars Book:The Hunting Hypothesis: A Personal Conclusion Concerning the Evolutionary Nature of Man Source: The Hunting Hypothesis: A Personal Conclusion Concerning the Evolutionary Nature of Man
