Famous quotes containing the word brute:

“Union may be strength, but it is mere blind brute strength unless wisely directed.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs ... I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb’s bleat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Of all my novels this bright brute is the gayest.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
