Be a good animal, true to your animal instincts.
- David Herbert Lawrence
I think that in all descriptions of the good life here on earth we must assume a certain basis of animal vitality and animal instinct; without this, life becomes tame and uninteresting.

A small number of them may enrich a community; but a world composed of them would die of boredom.
- Bertrand Russell
