About This Quote

It is common for us to think of ourselves as animals only when it suits us. We are animals, that is true. But we are not animals in the way that most think of them. When humans are confronted with something different, they can’t help but compare themselves with it.

When human beings are compared with animals, however, the comparison is usually unfavorable. It is true that both are animals, but it is also true that humans are more intelligent than most other animal species. To put it another way, while most other animal species see the world in terms of what is immediately around them, humans tend to view things in terms of what will happen in the future or what has already happened.
