Quote by Angela Carter
I think it's one of the scars in our culture that we have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the higher primates.
Summary
The quote implies that our society suffers from an excessive arrogance and inflated sense of self-importance. We tend to see ourselves as superior beings, akin to angels, rather than acknowledging our shared evolutionary origins with other primates. This criticism suggests that our perception of ourselves as exceptional individuals or civilizations may blind us to the inherent flaws and limitations that we often deny or ignore.
