Humans were peculiar. They were by turns squeamish and appallingly violent.

About This Quote

Humans, as a species, are unpredictable. We can be sensitive and gentle one day and murderous the next. We can be kind and compassionate to others who would do us harm. And, we can be cruel and violent to those we see as lesser beings. All of this makes us a fascinating species to study and a frustrating one to understand.
