Summary

This quote suggests that the purpose of animals' existence is to serve and benefit humans. It implies that animals have no inherent worth or moral consideration independent of their utility to humans. This perspective can be seen as anthropocentric, prioritizing human interests and needs over the intrinsic value and rights of other species. It neglects the idea that animals might have their own purposes, rights, and value in the natural world, apart from their relationship to humans.

Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices.
