“We humans fear the beast within the wolf because we do not understand the beast within ourselves”
“We fear the beast because we fear the beast within...”
“We turn ourselves into beasts so that we may cope with being human.”
“The beast within called to my human skin to set it free in the wilderness. But I can’t. It didn’t want to listen”
“We say, “I will,” and “I will not,” and imagine ourselves (though we obey the orders of some prosaic person every day) our own masters, when the truth is that our masters are sleeping. One wakes within us and we are ridden like beasts, though the rider is but some hitherto unguessed part of ourselves.”
“We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.”
