Worms

"If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms." - Henry Miller

"A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians." - William James

"Man is certainly stark mad. He cannot make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by the dozen." - Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, 1553-1592
