“Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most any one of us can seem to do is fashion something – an object of ourselves – and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force.”
Ernest Becker

“Civilized” society is a hopeful belief and protest that science, money and goods MAKE MAN COUNT for more than any other animal. In this sense everything that man does is religious and heroic, and yet in danger of being fictitious and fallible,”
— Ernest Becker
