Gibbon/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words gibbon and/or behavior:

    My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the obscurity of a learned language.
    —Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?
