In my heart I am a human being.
In my eyes I am not a man.
(šà-mà lú-lu7-me-en igi-mà lú2 nu-me-en)

Interesting proverbs that really makes you think and marvel at how beautiful humans are. Although I do wish the cuneiform script would be included with the proverbs.
The book also includes a beautiful cultural analysis and Sumerian glossary and concordance!
