Universal remembrance of all its experiences, therefore, is the surest, most general, and most easily proved mark of a genius.

We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.
