Animal Quote by C. S. Lewis

“One of the things that distinguishes man from the other animals is that he wants to know things, wants to find out what reality is like, simply for the sake of knowing. When that desire is completely quenched in anyone, I think he has become something less than human.” quote by C. S. Lewis — Download Open image
