Melvin Konner Quotes
At The Conclusion Of All Our Studies We Must Try Once Again To Experience The Human Soul As Soul, And Not Just As A Buzz Of Bioelectricity; The Human Will As Will, And Not Just A Surge Of Hormones; The Human Heart Not As A Fibrous, Sticky Pump, But As The Metaphoric Organ Of Understanding. We Need Not Believe In Them As Metaphysical Entities
They Are As Real As The Flesh And Blood They Are Made Of. But We Must Believe In Them As Entities; Not As Analyzed Fragments, But As Wholes Made Real By Our Contemplation Of Them, By The Words We Use To Talk Of Them, By The Way We Have Transmuted Them To Speech. We Must Stand In Awe Of Them As Unassailable, Even Though They Are Dissected Before Our Eyes.
