“Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.”
Anatole France
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
Victor Hugo
“Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.”
Oscar Wilde
“The rational mind of man is a shallow thing, a shore upon a continent of the irrational, wherein thin colonies of reason have settled amid a savage world.”
Wilford O. Cross
“Basically what everybody's doing now is rationing. Major retailers like Chevron are on rationed supply.”
Roy Mahone
“Indeed, so far from being humorous, the male American is the most abnormally serious creature who ever existed.... It is only fair to admit that he can exaggerate, but even his exaggeration has a rational basis. It is not founded on wit or fancy; it does not spring from any poetic imagination....”
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
Albert Einstein
