Автор:Clarence Shepard Day Год: 2010 Издание:Книга по Требованию Страниц: 106 ISBN: 9781419189654 Our monkey-blood is also apparent in our judgments of crime. If a crime is committed on impulse, we partly forgive it. Why? Because, being simians, with a weakness for yielding to impulses, we like to excuse ourselves by feeling not accountable for them. Elephants would have probably taken an opposite stand. They aren't creatures of impulse, and would be shocked at crimes due to such causes; their fault is the opposite one of pondering too long over injuries, and becoming vindictive in the end, out of all due proportion. Воспроизведено в оригинальной авторской орфографии издания 1936 года (издательство "New York : Knopf").
