A crime is a breach of an important social rule. Solitary animals don't have rules. A bear will trash another bear's cave, steal its food and kill its young. Wolves don't do those things: if they did, they couldn't live in packs.
~ Ken Follett
El delito es la ruptura de una regla social importante. Los animales solitarios no tienen reglas. Un oso invadirá la cueva de otro oso, robará su alimento y matará a sus oseznos. Los lobos no hacen esas cosas; si las hicieran, no vivirían en manadas. Los lobos son monógamos, unos cuidan los cachorros de los otros y respetan el espacio particular ajeno. Si un individuo quebranta las reglas, lo castigan; si reincide, lo expulsan de la manada o lo condenan a muerte.
~ Ken Follett
As historian Gary Ferguson writes, "while livestock may be the kindling, the real fuel for the burn is that the federal government is behind the project. . . .

~ Richard K. Morgan
Wolves are not ruled by law. They are ruled by the alpha-wolf's policy. Individual wolves can do anything not prohibited by the alpha-wolf. They can do anything they can get away with doing. To the wolf - breaking sheep law or the alpha-wolf's policy only becomes serious if caught. Getting caught is everything.
~ Richard Kelly Hoskins
The language of love and the language of seduction are the same. The one who wishes a girl for a wife and the one who wishes her for only a night both say the words, "I love you." Jesus has told us to discern between the language of seduction and the language of love, and to know the wolves clad in sheepskin from the real sheep.
~ Richard Wurmbrand
And besides we were like wolves! We turned wolves into dogs and they turned us into humans— we were something like orangutans before, solitaries who didn't know how to work together, it was the wolves who taught us that, who taught us the idea of friendship and cooperation

As with all witchhunts, the endless battle against ignorance requires one to always keep an open mind and sharp wits when considering such rumors - especially the rumors we choose to enjoy.
~ Zeena Schreck
Fairy tales give it to us straight. They tell us something profound and essential - that the woods are real, and dark, and full of wolves. That we will, at times, find ourselves hopelessly lost in them. But these tales also tell us that we are all that we need, that we have all we need - guts, smarts, and maybe a pocketful of breadcrumbs - to find our way home.

If you ask the lion to protect from from wolves, you have only chosen to end in one belly instead of another.
~ Robert Jordan
That was a thing of wolves; they could know the past and the future, yet keep their attention on the hunt. Could he do the same? Allow himself to be consumed when needed, yet keep balance in other parts of his life?
~ Robert Jordan

Thus, oxytocin and vasopressin facilitate bonding between parent and child and between couples.fn10 Now for something truly charming that evolution has cooked up recently.
