“We all share a biology and deep drives, and what we have created---civilization, courtesy, decency---is a mesh that comes from those drives and also contains and tames them. Whatever feels good is not necessarily good. But what I learn is whatever is bad is not necessarily alien to me. Or to you.”
Charles Bowden, Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: Work from 1970 to the Present
