"La société apprivoise le loup en chien Et l'homme est l'animal le plus domestiqué de tous"
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Simplified Meaning:
People have a natural wild side, like wolves. But when they become part of society, they learn to behave in a way that fits in with others, like a wolf turning into a dog. Just like dogs are trained to be loyal and gentle, people are taught to follow rules and act in a way that is acceptable. People go to school, work jobs, and follow laws, which makes society run smoothly. For example, in a workplace, you might want to express your anger but instead, you stay calm and professional because that is what is expected. This shows how people's wild nature is controlled by the rules and expectations of society.
