Nothing reveals more about the inner life of a people than their arts.
Nature neither gives nor expects mercy.
As fleeting emotions stalk it, a face can leak fear or the guilt of a forming lie.
Love is the white light of emotion.
The brain is only three pounds of blood, dream, and electricity, and yet from that mortal stew come Beethoven's sonatas. Dizzie Gillespie's jazz. Audrey Hepburn's wish to spend the last month of her life in Somalia, saving children.
It's animal by animal that you save a species.
