[...] With something of an effort Jane gradually quieted her mood. [...]

While each individual springs privately into the world at birth, then, each birth also represents quite literally an effort — a triumphant one — on the part of each member of each species, for the delicate balance of life requires for each birth quite precise conditions that no one species can guarantee alone, even to its own kind.

[...] In the inner world you or the dog can walk through the door without effort, because desire is action. [...]
