An Excerpt from The Island of Dr. Moreau

H.G. Wells

"I began with a sheep, and killed it after a day and a half... I took another sheep, and made a thing of pain and fear and left it bound up to heal. It looked quite human to me when I had finished it; but when I went to it I was discontented... These fear-haunted, pain-driven things... they are no good for man making."

Headline from The New York Times July 25th, 1997.
