Quote of the Day -- Robert Ardrey

We were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles and irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties, whatever they may be worth; our symphonies, however seldom they may be played; our peace­ful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams, however rarely they may be accom­plished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen.

--Robert Ardrey
