"You dehumanize a man as much by returning him to nature - by making him one with rocks, vegetation, and animals - as by turning him into a machine. Both the natural and the mechanical are the opposite of that which is uniquely human. Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine.

It is also obvious that when man domesticated animals and plants he acquired self-made machines for the production of food, power, and beauty."
