'Evolution, as far as we can tell, has lodged itself in the brains of man. The ant, the fish, even the ape has gone as far as it can go, but in our brain evolution is moving ...
Suppose love were to evolve as rapidly in our brains as technical skill has done ... I have a small hope, that's all, a very small hope, that someone they call Christ was the fertile element, looking for a crack in the wall to plant its seed.'
