Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of Time, he obeyed. Jack London
I got a letter from a sappy woman a while back - she knew I was sappy too, which is to say a lifelong Democrat. She was pregnant, and she wanted to know if I thought it was a mistake to bring a little baby into a world as troubled as this one is.

By saints I meant people who behaved decently and honorably in societies which were so often obscene. Perhaps many of us here,... Kurt Vonnegut
When a captive lion steps out of his cage, he comes into a wider world than the lion who has known only the wilds. While he was in captivity, there were only two worlds for him - the world of the cage, and the world outside the cage. Now he is free. He roars. He attacks people. He eats them. Yet he is not satisfied, for there is no third world that is neither the world of the cage nor the world outside the cage. Yukio Mishima
