More From Loren Eiseley

My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that i have toward christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "by their fruits shall ye know them." i wouldn't judge a man by the presuppositions of his life, but only by the fruits of his life. and the fruits - the relevant fruits - are, i'd say, a sense of charity, a sense of proportion, a sense of justice. and whether the man is an atheist or a christian, i would judge him by his fruits, and i have therefore many agnostic friends.
Christian Atheist Attitude
The trouble is that millennials and many recent products of the public schools believe that america was made great, if they're even taught that it's great, if they're taught that it's great, you know what they're told is the reason? diversity. there's diversity all over the world. you can go to places where there is diversity out the wazoo, folks. you can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. you will not find a united states.

You will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. you will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed. but who among you was first to notice the negative bird it left in the window? who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

Early bird oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird and catch the worm for your breakfast plate. if you’re a bird, be an early bird— but if you’re a worm, sleep late.

Katherine johnson never complained, it just was what it was. she just said, "i just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." and she stopped right there. i think about that as a black woman in hollywood when i'm asked about diversity. i hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is black and white. when you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. you are talking about people with disabilities, the lgbtq community...so i hate when people think about diversity.
Hate Black And White Thinking
Ordinary life does not interest me. i seek only the high moments. i am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. i want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; i want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension. but i am not always in what i call a state of grace. i have days of illuminations and fevers. i have days when the music in my head stops. then i mend socks, prune trees, can fruits, polish furniture. but while i am doing this i feel i am not living.
