For What Its Worth

Animals and birds, know no borders.
On the other hand, mankind knows where the borders are,
and there lies the problem.

A Man Who Lies ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying – lying to others and to yourself.”
– Fyodor Dostoevsky

Animal

“I don’t care whether animals are capable of thinking; all I care about is that they are capable of suffering!” – Jeremy Bentham

Aldous Huxley Quote

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough.

– Aldous Huxley
