“We're obsessed with filling in the blank for a Mad Libs line that goes: "_____ makes us human." Why? Scratch and sniff the "what makes us human" obsession and you get a strong whiff of something that could fit into that blank: our insecurity.”
Carl Safina, Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel

“The lower orders of men are far closer to the higher orders of animals than to the higher orders of men, and we ought to recognize that fact. (From Katherine Cook Briggs, co-inventor of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)”
Merve Emre, The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing

“People have told me that a wolf looks right through you. But you know what I realize? That's because a wolf isn't interested in you. It's always hard for humans to accept that we're not the most important thing anyone's ever seen.”
Carl Safina, Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel
