Man may have be made in the image of God but human society was made in his opposite number, and it’s always trying to get back home.

Show me a man or a woman alone and I’ll show you a saint.
Give me two and they’ll fall in love.
Give me three and they will invent a charming little thing called society.
Give me four and they’ll build a pyramid.
Give me five and they’ll make one an outcast.
Give me six and they will reinvent prejudice.
Give me seven and in seven years they will reinvent warfare

Man may have be made in the image of God but human society was made in his opposite number, and it’s always trying to get back home.
