"Plato arrived at the conclusion that there exists in a supra-sensible world a host of models or archetypes, immaterial, immutable, eternal, man in general or man in himself, triangle in itself, virtue in itself, etc. These he termed ideas, which are the object apprehended by the intellect, the faculty which attains truth – that is to say, they are Reality."
An Introduction to Philosophy - Jacques Maritain

John H. Storer

"All living things fit together into a single pattern."

"The forces set in motion by every act of man or bird, animal, insect, or bacterium move out to affect the lives of many other creatures."
|
|

"The most basic truth regarding our Earth-home is that all living things, in some manner, are related to each other. This fact, while..important as a physical principle, carries implications even of a spiritual nature."
