  I am very far removed from the belief that animate bodies are only a  small part of the others. For I believe rather that everything is  full of animate bodies … and that since matter is endlessly  divisible, one cannot fix on a part so small that there are no  animate bodies within, or at least bodies endowed with a basic  entelechy or … with a vital principle, that is to say  corporeal substances, about which it may be said in general of them  all that they are living. (G II.118/Garber 1998, 294)
