“There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly?

“When you present something that you have worked on to somebody else, for some reason that is the moment when you can see everything that you have done wrong.

“I would agree on the aging thing. Because, at a certain point, once you start noticing it, it is your subject. And I know young that people, when they get to 30, say, "Oh, I'm so old." But actually, around 50, you do become conscious of it.” PeopleConsciousAgreeAgingNoticing Author:Geoff Dyer
