Superior Quotes

“The pretty ones are usually unhappy. They expect everyone to be enamored of their beauty. How can a person be content when their happiness lies in someone else's hands, ready to be crushed at any moment?

― J. Cornell Michel, Jordan's Brains: A Zombie Evolution

“Even without abstract thought or metaphysical theorizing, just standing on two legs and using clubs gave mankind more than enough skill to win the race for survival on earth. These other abilities aren’t that necessary. And in exchange for our hyper-capable cerebral cortexes, of necessity we have to give up lots of other physical abilities. For example, dogs have a sense of smell several thousand times better than humans, and a sense of hearing tens of times better. But we’re able to amass complex hypotheses. We’re able to compare and contrast the cosmos and the microcosmos, and appreciate Van Gogh and Mozart. We can read Proust—if you want to, that is—and collect Koimari porcelain and Persian rugs. Not something a dog can do.”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

― Craig D. Lounsbrough, The Eighth Page: A Christmas Journey

“Understanding your manager’s place in the political food chain is the trickiest because you’re often not in the meetings where he is interacting with his superiors. Those are the situations where you understand what their view is of him and, therefore his organization.

"Ah, the station out at Fort Worden. What was that like?"
"You can go see it for yourself. It's still there."
"Can you tell me what you saw? Aircraft, ships...?"
"No." It gave me satisfaction to say that, and to say it firmly. I was on certain ground now. "I'm sure, Mr., uh, Harrison---I'm quite sure you know I can't tell you that. I signed a secrecy agreement with the army."
Woods cleared his throat again. I wondered which man was really the superior.”
― Louisa Morgan, The Witch's Kind
