“In order to be in control, you have to have a definite plan for at least a reasonable period of time. So how, may I ask, can man be in control if he can't even draw up a plan for a ridiculously short period of time, say, a thousand years, and is, moreover, unable to ensure his own safety for even the next day?” IfsMenYearsMayOrderNextAsksPlansPeriodsThousandDrawsSafetyReasonableThousand YearsDefiniteNext Day Author:Mikhail Bulgakov
“I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man's. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself?.” KnowsMenFormAnimalOpinionGreaterTreeCreaturesStonesInfinitePlantCompareRangeCowsContrastDefiniteMonkeysDeitiesSplinters Book:Memories, dreams, reflections Source: Memories, dreams, reflections
