Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or breeding:

    “Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “Not everyone knows how to be silent or to leave in good time. It happens that even people of good breeding fail to notice that their presence provokes in the weary or preoccupied host a feeling akin to hatred, and that this feeling is tensely concealed and covered up with lies.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
