“Wherefore we ought not childishly to neglect the study even of the most despised animals, for in all natural objects there lies something marvelous. And as it is related of Heraclitus that certain strangers who came to visit him, when, they found him warming himself at the kitchen fire, stopped short he bade them enter without fear, for there also were the gods: so we ought to enter without false shame on the examination of all living beings, for in all of them resides something of nature and beauty.” — Aristotle
Wherefore we ought not childishly to neglect the study even of the most
despised animals, for in all natural objects there lies something marvelous.
And as it is related of Heraclitus that certain strangers who came to visit him,
when, they found him warming himself at the kitchen fire, stopped short he
bade them enter without fear, for there also were the gods: so we ought to
enter without false shame on the examination of all living beings, for in all
of them resides something of nature and beauty.
