“On the whole, we're a murderous race. According to Genesis, it took as few as four people to make the planet too crowded to stand, and the first murder was a fratricide. Genesis says that in a fit of jealous rage, the very first child born to mortal parents, Cain, snapped and popped the first metaphorical cap in another human being. The attack was a bloody, brutal, violent, reprehensible killing. Cain's brother Abel probably never saw it coming. As I opened the door to my apartment, I was filled with a sense of empathic sympathy and intuitive understanding. For freaking Cain.” PeopleFirstsHumansChildrenWholeParentUnderstandingBornHuman BeingsRaceSawsFourDoorsPlanetsBrotherFitMurderFilledKillingRageViolentMortalsJealousBrutalApartmentBloodyIntuitiveCrowdedCapsGenesisCainMetaphoricalAbel Book:Dead Beat: A Novel of The Dresden Files Source: Dead Beat: A Novel of The Dresden Files

“When I look at birds and animals, their survival is without rules, without conditions, without organization. But mothers take good care of their offspring. That's nature. In human beings also, parents - particularly mothers - and children have a special bond. Mother's milk is a sign of this affection. We are created that way. The child's survival is entirely dependent on someone else's affection. So, basically, each individual's survival or future depends on society.
