Yeah...that "kill for shadowy ideas" quote says a lot!

I don't think Eiseley is all that celebratory of man's existence. He is a lonely figure--more in communion with Nature than with man.

Is man at heart any different from the spider, I wonder: man thoughts, as limited as spider thoughts, contemplating now the nearest star with the threat of bringing with him the fungus rot from earth, wars, violence, the burden of overpopulation he refuses to control, cherishing again the dream of the Adamic Eden he had pursued and lost in the green forests of America. — The Hidden Teacher

"I am not nearly so interested in what monkey man was derived from as I am in what kind of monkey he is to become." — The Lost Notebooks
