One of my favourite quotes:

Man is said to be a rational animal. I do not know why he has not been  
defined as an affective or feeling animal. More often I have seen a  
cat reason than laugh or weep. Perhaps it weeps or laughs inwardly -  
but then perhaps, also inwardly, the crab resolves equations of the  
2nd degree. -- Alasdair Macintyre.
