.....before fire could be considered a “gift” it was recognised as threatening and dangerous...

...and there is the first difference between hominids and other animals. The fire is there already. And hominids — what kind of creatures are these that dare go towards that dangerous thing and not run away like all other animals? All of them flee before the fire but hominids move closer.

destiny has once again begun to speak...

...the destiny that has moved entire peoples along their best evolutionary path, the destiny that has been so many times distorted and so many times forgotten, but is always re-encountered in the twists and turns of history. Today we can glimpse not only a new sensibility and a new mode of action but also a new moral attitude and a new tactical approach to facing life.

...perhaps we should ask ourselves...

...how it is possible for the immortal to generate the illusion of mortality.
