"Although man is part of the animal creation, he possesses a power of thought superior to all other created beings... (But) if... his thought does not soar, but is directed downwards to center itself upon the things of this world, he grows more and more material until he arrives at a state little better than that of a mere animal." Paris Talks Page 17 to 8 . (72:10)
