...dumb, panicky dangerous animals...
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody *knew* the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody *knew* the Earth was flat ... Imagine what you'll know tomorrow." -Men in Black (movie)
...in a sate of constant pursuit...
"And it was this vanity and greed and lust that drove me to--following your example some several million years too late--come down out of the tree. I climbed down from that tree to spend the rest of my life running from the yawning darkness of animal terror toward the light of fire stolen from the gods, and like you, I remain in a sate of constant pursuit, never quite escaping the darkness, nor ever reaching the light." -Benjamin Hale; The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore
