Is Man No More Than This? Consider

William Shakespeare

Exaggerating?" silk sounded shocked. "you don't mean to say that horses can actually lie, do you? hettar shrugged. "of course. they lie all the time. they're very good at it." for a moment silk looked outraged at the thought, and then he suddenly laughed. "somehow that restores my faith in the order of the universe," he declared. wolf looked pained. "silk," he said pointedly, "you're a very evil man. did you know that?" "one does one's best," silk replied mockingly.
