[...] We share this with the animals. [...] But animals, as far as we know, do not anticipate their own death, or wonder about their status before birth. [...]

Therefore, these wires, continuing our analogy, will grow thick or thin, or change color completely, like some chameleon-like animal constantly camouflaging its true appearance by taking on the outward manifestations of each neighboring forest territory. [...]

[...] They then accept it as a definite rule of nature, never realizing that just beyond their eyesight and just beyond their outer senses, this familiar tamed animal of a law changes appearance completely. [...]

The thing pulled back for an instant, much like a huge startled animal, and I slipped from beneath it and shot fast as a rocket for my body, with it after me. [...]

“He tried to destroy the ‘animal of evil,’ and it bit him back. [...]
