[Napoleon the Little by Victor Hugo]@TWC D-Link bookNapoleon the Little BOOK VI 22/32
Its entire law, I repeat, is instinct: instinct, a sort of railway, along which inevitable nature impels the brute.
No liberty, therefore, no responsibility, and consequently no future life.
The brute does neither evil nor good; it is wholly ignorant.
Even the tiger is innocent. If, perchance, you were innocent as the tiger! At certain moments one is tempted to believe that, having no warning voice within, any more than the tiger, you have no more sense of responsibility. Really, at times I pity you.
Who knows? perhaps after all, you are only a miserable blind force! Louis Bonaparte, you have not the notion of good and evil.
