Man is the creature of circumstances.
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 creative retrospection of nature upon itself.
Man is a special being, and if left to himself, in an isolated condition, would be one of the weakest creatures; but associated with his kind, he works wonders.
It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe.

Already at the origin of the species man was equal to what he was destined to become.
Man is a universe within himself.

Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
