“I always say, 'Man, the Creator is preparing me for something. He's keeping the sun on me for some reason. He's keeping me aligned with that generation.'

“God wanted man to know him somehow through his creatures, and since no creature could fittingly reflect the infinite perfection of the Creator, he multiplied his creatures and gave a certain goodness and perfection to each of them so that from them we could judge the goodness and perfection of the Creator, who embraces infinite perfection in the perfection of his one and utterly simple essence.” KnowsMenWantedCertainSimpleAnimalJudgingCreaturesGoodnessPerfectionEssenceInfiniteEmbraceCreator Author:Robert Bellarmine

“Nature attains perfection, but man never does. There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished. He is both an unfinished animal and an unfinished man. It is this incurable unfinishedness which sets man apart from other living things. For, in the attempt to finish himself, man becomes a creator. Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing.” MenDoePerfectAnimalGrowingCapablePerfectionCreatorBeesLiving ThingsAntsImmatureUnfinishedLearning And Growing Book:Between the Devil and the Dragon: The Best Essays and Aphorisms of Eric Hoffer Source: Between the Devil and the Dragon: The Best Essays and Aphorisms of Eric Hoffer
