Famous quotes containing the words animals and/or plants:

    “What distinguished man from animals was the human capacity for symbolic thought, the capacity which was inseparable from the development of language in which words were not mere signals, but signifiers of something other than themselves. Yet the first symbols were animals. What distinguished men from animals was born of their relationship with them.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “All plants move, but they don’t usually pull themselves out of the ground and chase you.”
    —Philip Yordan (b. 1913)
