"Arrogance is our natural and inherent disease. (...) [Man] with the same vain imagination pushes himself to the side of God, ascribes a divine state, separates and separates himself from the multitude of creatures, sets a class for his brothers and companions, the animals, and attributes to them as many abilities and powers as he sees fit .

""Az elbizakodottság természetes és eredendő betegségünk. (...) [Az ember] ugyanezzel a hiú képzelgéssel tolakszik Isten mellé, tulajdonít isteni állapotot, különíti és választja el önmagát a teremtmények sokaságától, szab osztályt testvéreinek és társainak, az állatoknak, és tulajdonít nekik annyi képességet és erőt, amennyit jónak lát."
