~HUMANS(and other species)~

"Humans think they are smarter than dolphins because we build cars and buildings and start wars, etc... and all that dolphins do is swim in the water, eat fish and play around. Dolphins believe that they are smarter for exactly the same reasons." ~Douglas Adams

"Human tales? Humans don't have tails, they have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts, and they walk around going 'HI HELEN.'" ~Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest

"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people." ~W. C. Fields

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man." ~Mark Twain

"You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'My goodness, you're right! I never would have thought of that!'" ~Dave Barry

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something seperated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein

"What confuses everything is this advantage man has over the animal... So dubious is this advantage... which, ironically, often means that he is what the animal is not, a babbler or a hypocrite." ~Soren Kierkegaard
