Generalizing a type of people is really primitive.
Roger stooped, picked up a stone, aimed and threw it at Henry-threw it to miss. The stone, that token of preposterous time, bounced five yards to Henry's right and fell in the water. Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Roger was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins.
Homo sapiens does its best to forget the fact, but it is an animal.
Once you were apes, yet even now man is more of an ape than any of the apes.
We're all animals.
Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.
Guys would sleep with a bicycle if it had the right color lip gloss on. They have no shame. They're like bull elks in a field.
It is always the right of the mighty which prevails over the weak, and that is very primitive.
When I think about life on Earth, there should not be a species like us. And if there was, we should be out in the jungle killing each other in small groups. That's what you should expect.
Zombies have no memories of their former life. You wont see the undead trying to wash windows or do your taxes. All they know how to do is swarm and feed.
Darwinian man, though well-behaved, at best is only a monkey shaved.
We humans are a fairly barbarous bunch.
Every fight is a food fight when youre a cannibal.
When they face desperation... human beings become animals.
Break the skin of civilization and you find the ape, roaring and red-handed.
The masculine energy was about survival. The male was the hunter who risked his life and had to be in the fight-flight mode.
The nasty little apes that call themselves human beings can do nothing except run and hide.
Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
The entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks.
The whole world has gone back to something we are genetically engineered to do - communicating through symbols.
The death sentence is a barbaric act . . . It is a reflection of the animal instinct still in human beings.
The only use for a knife during a shark attack is pure treachery: Stab your buddy, swim like hell, and hope the munchies take him.
Men have been barbarians much longer than they have been civilized. They are only precariously civilized, and within us there is the propensity, persistent as the force of gravity, to revert under stress and strain, under neglect or temptation, to our first natures.
It has been said that civilization is twenty-four hours and two meals away from barbarism.
Civilization largely consists in hiding human nature. When the barbarian learns to hide it we account him enlightened.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
