Sea Animals

"The situation that faced the sea animals when they were compelled to become land animals or perish was the same as that which faced these semi-animals, well adapted to the wilderness, to war, to prowling, to adventure: suddenly all their instincts were disvalued and "suspended." From now on they had to walk on their feet and "bear themselves" whereas hitherto they had been borne by the water: a dreadful heaviness lay upon them." pg 84

I really like this quote. It's very sad. Nietzsche has evoked emotion - the "dreadful heaviness." It is very effective in describing the negative effects of society upon the instinct of humans.
