Animal Quote by William James
“A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians.”
![“Beings become enraged and elated Through the causes for quarrels and celebrations. [154cd] They grieve and toil, they despair, And they mutilate and slay each other. Through all this and further evil deeds, they lead miserable lives, Always longing for their own happiness. [155]” quote by Karl Brunnholzl](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/770/karl-brunnholzl-4600_happiness_beings-become-enraged-and-elated-through_1700357.jpg)
