"Now there are some things we all know, but we
don't take'm out and look at'm very often. We all know that something
is eternal, and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't
even the stars... everybody knows in their bones that something
is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All
the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five
thousand years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always
losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal
about every human being."
