Sharing is the essence of teaching. It is, I have come to believe, the essence of civilization... Without it, the imagination is but the echo of the self, trapped in a soundproof chamber, reverberating upon itself until it is spent in exhaustion or futility.

Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.

There is a kind of notion of the noble, wild, primate of nature who cannot possibly win out against civilization. On the other side of the fear is this romantic notion of nature and its power, but it's also a story about how it'll never win against civilization.

Recalling some of the most spectacular horrors of history -- the burning of heretics and witches at the stake, the wholesale massacre of heathens, and other no less repulsive manifestations of Christian civilization in Europe and elsewhere -- modern man is filled with pride in the progress accomplished, in one line at least, since the end of the dark ages of religious fanaticism.
