- Deep thoughts
Flying is just swimming in the air, and swimming is just flying in water. Funny how words work. That's enough deep thoughts for one day. Live life and don't look back.
Jeremy Bentham
- Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation
It may come one day to be recognized, that the number of legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the os sacrum, are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason, or perhaps, the faculty for discourse? The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
