[…] the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been different. For sheep are stupid and have to be driven. But goats are intelligent and have to be led.
(Terry Pratchett, Small Gods)

It still fascinates me to see how such a sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful creature reproduces in a way so similar to the rest of its phylum. So different, and yet so much the same.
