I think there is a lot to chew on, but it is a little too celebratory of man's existence. I am not a misanthrope, but I see our kind as truly flawed in many ways. Our existence is much like the one-way door to the past he speaks of: we can see so clearly our superiority but are almost blind to our inferiority. Of the quotes, I think I like this one best of all: Man would kill for shadowy ideas more ferociously than other creatures kill for food, then, in a generation or less, forget what bloody dream had so oppressed him. How true!
