What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met.

David Levithan

We’re built to deal with death, disease, failure, struggle, heartbreak, problems. It’s what separates us from the animals and why we envy and love animals so much. We’re aware of it all and have to process it. The way we each handle being human is where all the good stories, jokes, art, wisdom, revelations, and bullshit come from.

Marc Maron

We humans are in such a strange position—we are still animals whose behavior reflects that of our ancestors, yet we are unique—unlike any other animal on earth. Our distinctiveness separates us and makes it easy to forget where we came from. Perhaps dogs help us remember the depth of our roots, reminding us—the animals at the other end of the leash—that we may be special, but we are not alone. No wonder we call them our best friends.

Patricia McConnell

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

Matt Groening

I think a lot of times our culture has an attitude toward art and the production of art that separates artists from the rest of us, like making art or music or painting or whatever is some magical thing that you have to be inspired to do, and special people do it.

Ann Leckie

Let us not doubt that God has a father's pity towards us, and that in the removal of that which is dearest to us He is still loving and kind. Death separates, but it also unites. It reunites whom it separates.

Abraham Coles

As they say in my country, the only thing that separates us from the animals is mindless superstition and pointless ritual.

Andy Kaufman

Human beings are storytelling animals. That's what separates us from other creatures, not just having thumbs or using tools.

Marion Dane Bauer

Willpower is what separates us from the animals. It's the capacity to restrain our impulses, resist temptation - do what's right and good for us in the long run, not what we want to do right now. It's central, in fact, to civilisation.

Roy Baumeister
