“The wild, cruel beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He is in front of it.”
“The beast in meIs caged by frail and fragile bars.”
“In this cage, behind these bars, I think of you and me.”
“Such actions are beyond praise: it is the perfume of such sweet and noble human sympathy that makes this wild beasts' cage a world habitable for men.”
“...But the human tongue is a beast that few can master. It strains constantly to break out of its cage, and if it is not tamed, it will tun wild and cause you grief.”
“People talk sometimes of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel.”
