I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive

I believe-and human psychologists, particularly psychoanalysts should test this-that present-day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. It is more than probable that the evil effects of the human aggressive drives, explained by Sigmund Freud as the results of a special death wish, simply derive from the fact that in prehistoric times intra-specific selection bred into man a measure of aggression drive for which in the social order today he finds no adequate outlet.

Barking dogs may occasionally bite, but laughing men hardly ever shoot!

The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being.

I believe that both art and the human striving for cognitive comprehension are manifest forms of the grand game in which nothing more is stipulated than the game's rules; both art and actively solicited perceptions are but special cases of the recurring creative act to which we owe our existence.

The human soul is very much older than the human mind.
