More and more I am certain that the only difference between man and animals is that men can count and animals cannot and if they count they mostly do count money.
I am a huge animal lover. Growing up, my mother and I rescued countless animals - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, even a turtle. I have been accused of caring more about animals than I do about people.
I don't use machines - animals don't use machines.
In my own writing, I avoid 'female' and try to say 'woman' because I feel that the word 'female' has connotations of not just biology but also non-human mammals. The idea of 'female' to me is more appropriate for a female animal.
In brief, we do more research on men in prison, men in the military, and men in general than we do on women for the same reason we do more research on rats than we do on humans.
I cannot help thinking of a monkey just put into breeches [pants]
I look to nature because I think the animals are smarter than we are. Animals mate; humans date. There's no dating in the animal kingdom. No dinner, no movie - just a quick sniff, 'Alright, let's go.'
In man, reason quickens and guides feelings; in brute, the soul lies ever dormant.
If 6,000,000 cattle had been slaughtered, there would have been more interest. A way would have been found.
I like dogs because they are not humans.
Kids are more drawn to animal characters than human.
The truth is that economic competition is the very opposite of competition in the animal kingdom. It is not a competition in the grabbing off of scarce nature-given supplies, as it is in the animal kingdom. Rather, it is a competition in the positive creation of new and additional wealth.
The difference between the smartest dog and the stupidest man - say a Tennessee Holy Roller - is really very small.
Every species, human and subhuman, has some distinguishing mark, so that you can tell a man from a beast, or a dog from a cow.
It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question.
