Famous quotes containing the words dogs and/or cats:

    Parrots, tortoises and redwoods
    Live a longer life than men do,
    Men a longer life than dogs do,
    Dogs a longer life than love does.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
