The Creatures

«We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with»
«The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life»
«Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.»
«Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent.»
«The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.»
«We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.»
