We have long laboured under an obtuse presupposition.... : Quote by Gavin Maxwell

“ We have long laboured under an obtuse presupposition that the senses by which other living creatures perceive their world must to a great extent resemble our own; but in fact we are, by scientific invention, only now beginning to approach methods of perception that the whales have always owned as their birthright. ”
