“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”
- Dr. Johnson (1971)
“I readily agree. . .that the faculties of brutes can by no means attain to abstraction. But then if this is made the distinguishing properties of that sort of animals, I fear a great many of those that pass for men must be reckoned into their number.”
- George Berkeley (1710)
