Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.

  • -- George Orwell 乔治·奥威尔

人类是唯一只会消费而不生产的生物。它不产奶,不下蛋,它太弱了,拉不动犁,它跑得不够快,抓不到兔子。然而他是所有动物的主人。
