More From George Herbert

I work very slowly. it's like building a ladder, where you're building your own ladder rung by rung, and you're climbing the ladder. it's not the best way to build a ladder, but i don't know any other way.
Climbing Ladders Way
Modernity sees humanity as having ascended from what is inferior to it - life begins in slime and ends in intelligence - whereas traditional cultures see it as descended from its superiors. as the anthropologist marshall sahlins put the matter: we are the only people who assume that we have ascended from apes. everybody else take it for granted that they are descended from gods.
People Humanity Religion
I have always unswervingly held, that god, in our civilizing world, manifests himself not in the miracles of biblical age, but in progress. it is progress that leads humanity up the ladder towards the god-head. no jacob's ladder this, no, but rather civilization's ladder, if you will.
Biblical Civilization Miracle
If i am going up a ladder, and a dog begins to bite at my ankles, i can do one of two things - either turn round and kick out at the it, or simply go on up the ladder. i prefer to go up the ladder!
Dog Two Challenges
Guarding knowledge is not a good way to understand. understanding means to throw away your knowledge. you have to be able to transcend your knowledge the way people climb a ladder. if you are on the fifth step of a ladder and think that you are very high, there is no hope for you to climb to the sixth.
Mean Thinking People
However, for the man who studies to gain insight, books and studies are merely rungs of the ladder on which he climbs to the summit of knowledge. as soon as a rung has raised him up one step, he leaves it behind. on the other hand, the many who study in order to fill their memory do not use the rungs of the ladder for climbing, but take them off and load themselves with them to take away, rejoicing at the increasing weight of the burden. they remain below forever, because they bear what should have bourne them.

My childhood was never great. we moved from place to place a lot. there were times when we had no definite place to stay. so, a basic level of security was not always there. therefore, when you finally make it out, and you become who i am, you're humbled by the memories of those situations.
Memories Who I Am Childhood
I studied a lot of animal behavior and one of the things i find really interesting is the whole idea that animals are sensory based thinkers and i wrote about this in my book, animals in translation. that an animal's memory is not in words, they've got to be in pictures - it's very detailed so let's say the animal gets afraid of something - they'll get afraid of something that they're looking at or hearing, the moment the bad thing happens.

Utah is so wonderful. my greatest memories of utah are of always being outdoors. it's a very athletic environment that i think gave me a lot of drive to be fit and live well.
Memories Thinking Utah
The line between what is known scientifically and what has to be assumed in order to support knowledge is impossible to draw. memory itself is an internal rumour.
