Man is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.
I believe that the end of things man-made cannot be very far away - must be near at hand.
Man himself is a mysterious object, and the tools to probe his physiologic nature and function have developed only slowly through the millennia.
Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.
We live in a world which is changing very fast. What seems contemporary now will be historical in two years.

A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.
What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.
Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.
