“Let me absorb this thing. Let me try to understand it without private barriers.
When I have understood what you are saying, only then will I subject it to my own scrutiny
and my own criticism” This is the finest of all critical approaches and the rarest.”

“Why do we so dread to think of our species as a species? Can it be that we are afraid of what we may find? That human self-love would suffer too much and that the image of God might prove to be a mask? This could be only partly true, for if we could cease to wear the image of a kindly, bearded, interstellar dictator, we might find ourselves true images of his kingdom, our eves the nebulae, and universes in our cells.”
