A Quote by Dan Phillips
Human beings are a social species. We like to hang together in groups, just like wildebeests, just like lions. Wildebeests don't hang with lions because lions eat wildebeests. Human beings are like that. We do what that group does that we're trying to identify with.

They also like showing off, grabbing all they can, fighting for their rights and bossing anybody who'll give them half a chance.

We're not just social animals in the conventional way that people think. It's not just a bunch of us who hang out together.

There are novels that end well, but in between there are human beings acting like human beings. And human beings are not perfect.

We like to think of ourselves as really, really good people. But look in the mirror. Really look. Look at your own mixed motives. And then multiply that.
