"He
went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being,
but nevertheless
he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes.
He had learned a good deal
. . . and was a fairly clever fellow.
What he had not learned, however,
was this:
to find contentment in himself and his own life.
The cause
of this apparently was that
at the bottom of his heart
he knew all the
time (or thought he knew)
that he was in reality not a man,
but
a wolf of the Steppes."
-Herman Hesse (Steppenwolf)
