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

David Levithan

One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called ''weasel words.'' When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a ''weasel word'' after another there is nothing left of the other.

Theodore Roosevelt

Plants don't think. Animals are guided by the power of instinct over which they themselves have no control. Animals have a certain kind of brain that makes it impossible to learn anything except very simple things. No generation of animals ever learns anything from any previous generation. We act like animals when we fail to use this magnificent piece of equipment.

Sterling W Sill

Comedy exists to laugh at things that aren't laughable. But isn't it? That's what separates us from the animals. We laugh.

Joan Rivers

Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.

Helen Keller

I saw that animals were important. I saw that plants were even more important. I was also to learn that compared to many of the other species, we weren't important at all except for the damage we do. We do not rule the natural world, despite our conspicuous position in it. On the contrary, it is our lifeline, and we do well to try to understand its rules.

Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

Art is what separates us from the animals.

Iimani David

I think kissing is what separates us from the animals and makes us divine.

Robert Goolrick

Guilt, remorse. It's what separates us from the animals.

Arthur Mitchell

The only thing that separates us from the animals... is we have pornography.

Chuck Palahniuk

Revenge is good. It's what separates us from the animals and the hippies.

Christopher Titus

Choice, I've always believed, is all that separates us from animals.

Dennis Lehane

We all have to control our feelings. That's the thing that separates us from animals.

Mike Tyson

We must learn to live on the heavenly side and look at things from above. To contemplate all things as God sees them, as Christ beholds them, overcomes sin, defies Satan, dissolves perplexities, lifts us above trials, separates us from the world and conquers fear of death.

A. B. Simpson

There's only one thing that separates us from animals: We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners.

Jeff Stilson

We are learning all the time - about the world and about ourselves. We learn without knowing that we are learning and we learn without effort every moment of the day. We learn what is interesting to us... and we learn from what makes sense to us, because there is nothing to learn from what confuses us except that it is confusing.
