Quote by Voltaire
Answer me, you who believe that animals are only machines. Has nature arranged for this animal to have all the machinery of feelings only in order for it not to have any at all?
Summary
This quote challenges the belief that animals are merely mechanistic entities without any capacity for emotions. The speaker questions whether nature would have equipped animals with complex systems of feeling if they were devoid of any emotions altogether. It invites us to reconsider the idea that animals are emotionless machines, suggesting that they possess an inner world of emotions and sensations which deserves recognition and empathy.
