Famous quotes containing the words animal, names and/or honor:
“There is an animal inside me,
clutching fast to my heart,
a huge crab.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
“Predicament indeed, which thus discovers
Honor among thieves Honor between lovers.
O such a little word is Honor, they feel!
But the grey word is between them cold as steel.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
