The secret, if one may paraphrase a savage vocabulary, lies in the egg of night.

At the core of the universe, the face of God wears a smile

The freedom to create is somehow linked with facility of access to those obscure regions below the conscious mind.

Many of us who walk to and fro...

Many of us who walk to and fro upon our usual tasks are prisoners drawing mental maps of escape.

It is a commonplace of all rel...

It is a commonplace of all religious thought, even the most primitive, that the man seeking visions and insight must go apart from his fellows and love for a time in the wilderness.

Though men in the mass forget ...

Though men in the mass forget the origins of their need, they still bring wolfhounds into city apartments, where dog and man both sit brooding in wistful discomfort. The magic that gleams an instant between Argos and Odysseus is both the recognition of diversity and the need for affection across the illusions of form. It is nature's cry to homeless, far-wandering, insatiable man: 'Do not forget your brethren, nor the green wood from which you sprang. To do so is to invite disaster.

Man no longer dreams over a book in which a soft voice, a constant companion, observes, exhorts, or sighs with him through the pangs of youth and age. Today he is more likely to sit before a screen and dream the mass dream which comes from outside.

To have dragons one must have change; that is the first principle of dragon lore.

Modern man lives increasingly in the future and neglects the present.

Loren Eiseley 102 quotes

The future is neither ahead no...

The future is neither ahead nor behind, on one side or another. Nor is it dark or light. It is contained within ourselves; its evil and good are perpetually within us.

Mind is locked in matter like the spirit Ariel in a cloven pine. Like Ariel, men struggle to escape the drag of the matter they inhabit, yet it is the spirit that they fear.

You think that way as you begin to get grayer and you see pretty plainly that the game is not going to end as you planned.

Man is dragged hither and thit...

Man is dragged hither and thither, at one moment by the blind instincts of the forest, at the next by the strange intuitions of a higher self whose rationale he doubts and does not understand.

Loren Eiseley 102 quotes

Man inhabits a realm half in a...

Man inhabits a realm half in and half out of nature, his mind reaching forever beyond the tool, the uniformity, the law, into some realm which is that of the mind alone.

Loren Eiseley 102 quotes

Choices, more choices than we ...

Choices, more choices than we like afterward to believe, are made far backward in the innocence of childhood.

From the solitude of the wood, (Man) has passed to the more dreadful solitude of the heart.

As we passed under a streetlam...

As we passed under a streetlamp I noticed, beside my own bobbing shadow, another great, leaping grotesquerie that had an uncanny suggestion of the frog world about it . . . judging from the shadow, it was soaring higher and more gaily than myself. 'Very well,' you will say, 'Why didn't you turn around. That would be the scientific thing to do.' But let me tell you it is not done Ђ• not on an empty road at midnight.

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.

Since the first human eye saw ...

Since the first human eye saw a leaf in Devonian sandstone and a puzzled finger reached to touch it, sadness has lain over the heart of man. By this tenuous thread of living protoplasm, stretching backward into time, we are linked forever to lost beaches whose sands have long since hardened into stone. The stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. No one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. Its forms are phan

The creative element in the mind of man . . . emerges in as mysterious a fashion as those elementary particles which leap into momentary existence in great cyclotrons, only to vanish again like infinitesimal ghosts.
