The Human Soul Is Very Much Older

The Competition Between Human Beings Destroys With Cold And Diabolic Brutality... Under The Pressure Of This Competitive Fury We Have Not Only Forgotten What Is Useful To Humanity As A Whole, But Even That Which Is Good And Advantageous To The Individual. [...] One Asks, Which Is More Damaging To Modern Humanity: The Thirst For Money Or Consuming Haste... In Either Case, Fear Plays A Very Important Role: The Fear Of Being Overtaken By One's Competitors, The Fear Of Becoming Poor, The Fear Of Making Wrong Decisions Or The Fear Of Not Being Up To Snuff...

The Truth About An Animal Is Far More Exciting And Altogether More Beautiful Than All The Myths Woven About It.

All Living Beings Have Received Their Weapons Through The Same Process Of Evolution That Moulded Their Impulses And Inhibitions; For The Structural Plan Of The Body And The System Of Behaviour Of A Species Are Parts Of The Same Whole.... Wordsworth Is Right: There Is Only One Being In Possession Of Weapons Which Do Not Grow On His Body And Of Whose Working Plan, Therefore, The Instincts Of His Species Know Nothing And In The Usage Of Which He Has No Correspondingly Adequate Inhibition.

Hatred Of Humanity And Love Of Animals Make A Very Bad Combination.

The Rushed Existence Into Which Industrialized, Commercialized Man Has Precipitated Himself Is Actually A Good Example Of An Inexpedient Development Caused Entirely By Competition Between Members Of The Same Species. Human Beings Of Today Are Attacked By So-called Manager Diseases, High Blood Pressure, Renal Atrophy, Gastric Ulcers, And Torturing Neuroses: They Succumb To Barbarism Because They Have No More Time For Cultural Interests.
