„The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.“

„God is the most noble of beings. Now it is impossible for a body to be the most noble of beings; for a body must be either animate or inanimate; and an animate body is manifestly nobler than any inanimate body. But an animate body is not animate precisely as body; otherwise all bodies would be animate. Therefore its animation depends upon some other thing, as our body depends for its animation on the soul. Hence that by which a body becomes animated must be nobler than the body. Therefore it is impossible that God should be a body.“
— Thomas Aquinas
„The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.“
— H.L. Mencken
