Yes, that sig made me smile too
I was browsing the New Republic blog and came upon this, from
Robert Alter's translation of the Bible (The Wisdom Books)
Quote:

For the fate of the sons of man and the fate of the beast is a single fate. As one dies so dies the other, and all have a single spirit, and man’s advantage over the beast is naught, for everything is mere breath. Everything goes to a single place. Everything was from the dust, and everything goes back to the dust. Who knows whether man’s spirit goes upward and the beast’s spirit goes down to the earth?
