Book: The island of Dr. Moreau

Reason, truly open to science, must understand all its insignificance!

It is useless to regret the impossible.

Hunger and weakness deprive a person of courage.

In the end, the best thing is not to trust anyone with your secret.

But I otherwise constituted. We are standing on different positions. You are a materialist.
- I am not a materialist, hotly I said.
- From my point of view, of course, only from my point of view. Because we disagree with you in this matter of suffering. Until then, as long as you can see the suffering and hear the groans, and it's hurting you, until your own suffering own you, as long as suffering is based on your concept of sin, until I tell you, you animal, you think a little more clearly of the animal. Is suffering.

Can be taught anything, even a pig.

The surgery can achieve so much more, it is able not only to destroy but to create.

Some persons seem to me to be calm and clear, others dark and threatening, third - fickle, insincere; none of the human individuals there is the reasonable certainty that distinguishes a human being.

The study of nature makes a man at the end as brutal as nature itself.

On the air the screams sounded even louder. It seemed as if in them were concentrated all the suffering in the world. Still, it seems to me (and I've thought about it), I know that in the next room someone suffering exactly the same, but silently, I would respond much calmer. But when suffering finds a voice and makes tremble our nerves, then the soul overflows with pity.

The animal may be ferocious and cunning, but only one person knows how to lie.
