Say we been produced in one second from nothing; well, think what we'll become in another ten seconds.

We'll have our balance by that time.

This protoplasm does what it's told to do--that's how it made eyes for us to see, and ears to hear, and brains to think with--so by that time we'll be really living; we'll have a form that's plastic, and can change round to meet any change of environment, so we won't have to die if it gets too cold or too hot.

We want to live--we all want to live; by that time we'll be able to go on living.
"Of course we won't be looking much like we are now, we're pretty clumsy machines so far.

I suppose, for one thing, we'll be getting our nourishment straight from the elements instead of taking it through plants and animals.
