Beast

Famous quotes containing the word beast:

    Any beast can cry over the misfortunes of its own child. It takes a mensch to weep for others’ children.

    Our eyes
    Are armed, but we are strangers to the stars,
    And strangers to the mystic beast and bird,
    And strangers to the plant and to the mine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is the sinner’s dust-tongued bell claps me to churches
    When, with his torch and hourglass, like a sulphur priest,
    His beast heel cleft in a sandal....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
