Quote by Rene Daumal
Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think. This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.
Summary
This quote depicts the different aspects of human nature by comparing them to different animals. The head represents rationality and thinking, the chest symbolizes emotions and feelings, and the stomach represents our primal instincts and desires. The quote suggests that these different elements often work independently within us, each with their own needs and drives. The metaphor of a jungle emphasizes the chaotic and constant nature of our thoughts, emotions, and desires, and implies that they continue even when we are asleep.
