y cuando, por otra parte, vemos individuos que, aun sacados jóvenes del estado natural, perfectamente amansados, habiendo vivido bastante tiempo y sanos -de lo que podría dar yo numerosos ejemplos-, tienen, sin embargo, su aparato reproductor tan gravemente perjudicado, por causas desconocidas, que deja de funcionar, no ha de sorprendernos que este aparato, cuando funciona en cautividad, lo haga irregularmente y produzca descendencia algo diferente de sus padres.

Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.
