• The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances.

It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.
