Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or prevalence:

    “The animal merely makes a bed, which he warms with his body, in a sheltered place; but man, having discovered fire, boxes up some air in a spacious apartment, and warms that.... Thus he goes a step or two beyond instinct, and saves a little time for the fine arts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “That the public can grow accustomed to any face is proved by the increasing prevalence of Keith’s ruined physiognomy on TV documentaries and chat shows, as familiar and homely a horror as Grandpa in The Munsters.”
    —Philip Norman, British author, journalist. The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones, introduction (1989)
