Between Light and Storm Quotes

“These revelations were exciting and seemed transformative. If we live in a world of sentience and consciousness, shouldn't the knowledge alter the entire basis of our relationship with other species? If these organisms are able to employ their statocysts, their chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, their neurons and glia, their nidopallia caudelaterale and hippocampi, their every organ and mechanism of sense, smell, direction and feeling towards living their lives much as we do ours, on what basis can we still consider ourselves superior?”
― Esther Woolfson, Between Light and Storm: How We Live with Other Species
