"We patronize animals for their incompleteness, or their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ourselves, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They aren't brethren, they aren't underlings; they are other Nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time."
- Henry Beston
