“La forma de vida biológica que nos viene dada por la naturaleza y que (como todo lo demás en la naturaleza) siempre tiende a gastarse y decaer de modo que sólo puede mantenerse por medio de incesantes subsidios de la naturaleza en forma de aire, agua, comida, etc., es Bios. La vida espiritual que está en Dios desde la eternidad, y que creó el universo entero, es Zoe. Bios tiene, por supuesto, una cierta semejanza vaga y simbólica con Zoe, pero sólo la clase de semejanza que hay entre una fotografía y un lugar, o una estatua y un hombre. Un hombre que cambiase de tener Bios a tener Zoe habría pasado por una transformación tan grande como la de una estatua que pasara de ser una piedra tallada a ser un hombre auténtico.”

“A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.”
