What is essential in the existence of man is the fact that he has emerged from the animal kingdom, from instinctive adaptation, that he has transcended nature-although he never leaves it; he is a part of it-and yet once torn away from nature, he cannot return to it; once thrown out of paradise- a state of original oneness with nature-cherubim with flaming swords block his way, if he should try to return. Man can only go forward by developing his reason, by finding a new harmony, a human one, instead of the prehuman harmony which is irretrievably lost. (The Art of Loving P.7)
