Reading Loren Eiseley lately and I find that looking for an interesting quote from him is like taking a photo in one of our National Parks. Virtually any which way you point the camera will produce wonderful photos. I'm currently reading "The Star Thrower" the last book he put together before leaving us. This quote is from "The Innocent Fox"
"I slowed the car and silently fought to contain the horror that even animals feel before the disruption of the natural order. But was there a natural order? As I coaxed my lights to a fuller blaze I suddenly realized the absuridity of the question. Why would life tremble before the unexpected if it had not already anticipated the answer?"
-- Loren Eiseley
