Man is a universe within himself.

Man is the matter of the cosmos, contemplating itself.

What is Man? Man is a noisome bacillus whom Our Heavenly Father created because he was disappointed in the monkey.

Man is a phase of nature, and only as he is related to nature does he matter, does he have any account whatever above the dust.

Man is a mechanism for turning things into spirit and turning spirit into things.

Man - a figment of God's imagination.

Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole.

Man is a machine, but a very peculiar machine. He is a machine which, in right circumstances, and with right treatment, can know that he is a machine, and having fully realized this, he may find the ways to cease to be a machine.
First of all, what man must know is that he is not one; he is many. He has not one permanent and unchangeable “I” or Ego. He is always different. One moment he is one, another moment he is another, the third moment he is a third, and so on, almost without end.

Man is not an omipotent master of the universe, allowed to do with impunity whatever he thinks, or whatever suits him at the moment. The world we live in is made of an immensely complex and mysterious tissue about which we know very little and which we must treat with utmost humility.

Man, however much he like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature.

Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite. . . . There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world.

What is man? Storyteller, mythmaker, and destroyer of the living world.

Man is a tool using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

Man is a continuum, a totality and a continuity -
so it cannot be that nothing remains!
