He who makes a beast of himself escapes the pain of being a man.

About Me

i speak in verses, prophecies, and curses

To whom God has given knowledge
And the gift of speaking eloquently,
Must not keep silent nor conceal the gift,
But he must willingly display it.
-Marie de France, 12th Century

He who makes a beast of himself escapes the pain of being a man.
- Dr. Johnson
