About This Quote
Some people grow up in a stable and still remain human. They do not become animals, but they also do not become people. The reason we do not refer to people in this way is because we believe that to be a person, one must be capable of making decisions and having free will. To be born in a stable does not make one a horse, so why do we consider people in this way?
