From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2014-07-16:
"I am fascinated by how political the lives of chimps are, and how much they are defined by tyranny and revolt. When a leader or a bully exerts relentless force over a group, the group lives in fear. There is submission but also constant deceit and subterfuge among those trying to find some small satisfaction behind the back of the alpha." -- Colin McAdam, whose 2013 novel A Beautiful Truth featured chimp characters.
