"The animal... is a captive of the senses and deprived of that which lies beyond them. It is subject to what the eyes see, the ear hears, the nostrils sense, the taste detects and touch reveals. These sensations are acceptable and sufficient for the animal." But in man "mind is the perfection of the spirit, and is its essential quality." (Bwf 235; Bwf 317) (41:7)
