They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralisation and disorder on the part of the inferior ... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
“The cuckoo is a lazy bird,
She never builds a nest,
She makes herself busy
By singing to the rest.”
