Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.- Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
In this quotation the author is referring to:
OPTIONS
1)the fact that he would rather be born as an animal than a human
2)animals not having any attachments to the material world
3)a simple comparision between two species
4)people suffering because they know they will eventually die
There’s a beast within every man that stirs when you put a sword in his hand.
