Every Species is Made for Its Own Happiness

"The world, we are told, was made especially for man - a presumption not supported by the facts . . . I have never yet happened upon a trace of evidence that seemed to show that any one animal was ever made for another as much as it was made for itself. Not that nature manifests any such thing as selfish isolation. In the making of every animal the presence of every other animal has been recognized. Indeed, every atom in creation may be said to be acquainted with and married to every other. Each creature is made for itself, then more and more remotely for all the world and worlds."
