It's hard to understand exactly what's going through a man's mind....I have read numerous quotes form this man and this is the one that really stick's with me. I understand what it means to me.....Just curious what it might mean to others.
Here it is:

He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man.
Samuel Johnson
English author, critic, & lexicographer (1709 - 1784)
