Quote of the Moment

“We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it’s really a very odd predicament to be in, if you think about it.”
--neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, "The Emerging Mind" (via slim coincidence)
