“Some of you may know my story: How for nineteen years, I worked as a manager for a tire plant in Alabama.

“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
