“THERE IS ONE MORE POINT to be made about animal minds and evolution. Evolution is not a progressive force. Although it was once thought that there was a scale of nature or a Great Chain of Being, with all the forms of life ascending in some orderly, preordained fashion—from jellyfish to fish to birds to dogs and cats to us—this is not the case. We are not the culmination of all these “lesser” beings; they are not lesser and we are not the pinnacle of evolution.”

“A bullet is alone, and man is alone; a bullet flies wherever it likes, and fate twists a man however it likes.”
