Huxley

Here is an excerpt I like from Aldous Huxley's Ape and Essence.
"Cruelty and compassion come with the chromosomes;
All men are merciful and all are murderers.
Doting on dogs, their build their Dachaus;
Fire whole cities and fondle the orphans;
Are loud against lynching, but all for Oakridge;
Full of future philanthropy, but today the NKVD.
Whom shall we persecute, for whom feel pity?
It is all a matter of the moment's mores,
of communist kindergartens or first communions.
Only in the knowledge of his own Essence
Has any man ceased to be many monkeys."
