“In order to become fully human, man had to pull himself out of the slime. And all this is the result. As the takers see it, the gods gave man the same choice they gave Achilles: a brief life of glory or a long uneventful life in obscurity. And the takers chose a brief life of glory.”
I think this Quote means that the Takers want everything to be perfect and are willing to take anything they hear is good. Whatever sounds good they will take.
