Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage. — Woody Allen

Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.

Author: Woody Allen

Insight: Woody Allen flips the serious question of human violence into absurdist territory—we're not noble hunters but practical creatures who'll rationalize almost anything. It's like how we convince ourselves one more coffee or snack justifies breaking our own rules. The punchline? We're all just sophisticated animals looking for the next thing to consume.
