"Man has a symbolic identity that brings him sharply out of nature. He is a symbolic self, a creature with a name, a life history. He is a creator with a mind that soars out to speculate about atoms and infinity, who can place himself imaginatively at a point in space and contemplate bemusedly his own planet. This immense expansion, this dexterity, this ethereality, this self-conciousness gives to man literally the status of a small god in nature...Yet, at the same time, man is a worm and food for worms...he is out of nature and hopelessly in it...up in the stars and yet housed in a heart-pumping, breath-gasping body that once belonged to a fish."
