Quote by Malcolm De Chazal

Animals awaken, first facially, then bodily. Men's bodies wake before their faces do. The animal sleeps within its body, man sleeps with his body in his mind.

Summary

The quote suggests that animals have a more instinctual and natural awareness of themselves and their surroundings. Their awakening begins with their physical senses and then spreads to their consciousness. On the other hand, humans are portrayed as having a disconnect between their physical and mental states. Their bodies may be awake, but their minds may still be asleep or unaware. It suggests that humans have a tendency to be detached from their physical existence, while animals are intimately connected to their bodies and the present moment.

Children demand that their heroes should be freckleless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.

It really isn't anybody's business how many people we have working for us. What's offensive is that I'm portrayed as this prima donna with these sycophants telling me how great I am all the time. Yes, they do work for me, but we're working together for a higher good...

You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks; you have been false to them all.
