| Of all the animals, man is the only one
that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of
doing it. - "The Lowest Animal"
|
 Illustration from first edition of FOLLOWING THE EQUATOR |
It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because
it is dumb to his dull perceptions.
- What is Man?
