Of what use is it to please the herd? They are simply coarse animals — for all that is admirable in man is the artificial product of special breeding.
I do think on some basic level we are animals, and by instinct we kind of breed accordingly. But as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I’m in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way.
Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
