Leila Slimani Quotes
That animal part of us, it's the most interesting part. It's everything that has to do with drives, with things we can't stop ourselves from doing, with all the spaces where we're unable to reason with ourselves. It has its dark side, but there's a luminous side, too, which is the fact that we're just another species of animal.

This is vital not only for the preservation of animal life generally, but for the future existence of man himself - a point that seems to escape many people.
