   the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of   
   humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different   
   ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been   
   different.  For sheep are stupid and have to be driven. But goats are   
   intelligent and have to be led.  (Small Gods)
