Not a man, but a wolf...

 
"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)
