“There was nothing humane about humanity. At the end of the day, they were all
animals with only survival instincts.”

“Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.”

“Everything' is infinite. Which will be impossible for anyone to know. Human beings only care about methods of survival and nothing else.”

“And let the fear and dread of you be upon all of the animals of the earth.” Clearly, fear and dread were prescribed for the animals, but evidently it was forbidden among humans. By nature a human is superior to a brute animal, but not other humans.”

“The only animal from which humans have nothing to learn, in fact, is the sheep. Humans have already learned everything the sheep's got to teach.”

“You said in your book that at the end of the day, every politician is human. What about during the day?”

“Human beings are social animals. We were social before we were human.”

“You can often give a better description of the fight between people, the essentials of it, by means of fantastic animals, the simple, primitive, naked instincts, than by depicting a specific situation. It is not the human animal we should describe, but ourselves as human animals.”

“Morals: They’re nothing but a coded survival instinct!”

“How is it appropriate to feel? she thought. Only humans dread. Dread is appropriate to nothing. It’s the surplus of animal fear, it’s never indicated, it’s nothing but itself.”
