A bird as it rises always sets its wings above the wind and without beating them, and it always moves in a circular movement.

Nature appears to have been the cruel stepmother rather than the mother of many animals.

Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false; animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.

We also have a dog. His name's Beast. He's a sheepdog. He's super cute. I love him.

It is even a difficult thing for him [humans] to admit to himself that the insect or the bird perceives an entirely different world from the one that man does.

Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.
