Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or prevalence:

    “Man, became man through work, who stepped out of the animal kingdom as transformer of the natural into the artificial, who became therefore the magician, man the creator of social reality, will always stay the great magician, will always be Prometheus bringing fire from heaven to earth, will always be Orpheus enthralling nature with his music. Not until humanity itself dies will art die.”
    —Ernst Fischer (1899–1972)

    “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)
