“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
