The creature was there, a curiously shaped creature no doubt, but all loathing had vanished clean out of his mind, so that neither then nor at any other time could he remember it, nor ever understand again why one should quarrel with an animal for having more legs or eyes than oneself. C.s. Lewis
About This Quote

The Creature was there, a curious-shaped creature no doubt, but all loathing had vanished clean out of his mind, so that neither then nor at any other time could he remember it, nor ever understand again why one should quarrel with an animal for having more legs or eyes than oneself. This quote is an excerpt from the novel The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. It is one of the most thought-provoking statements in the book. The author has described how the life of a man can change so much with just one choice. If one day you are filled with hate towards an animal because it has more eyes than you does not mean that you will always be like that and never make a different choice.
