Famous quotes containing the word horses:
“Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle;”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“It must be confessed that horses at present work too exclusively for men, rarely men for horses; and the brute degenerates in man’s society.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are like horses who hurt themselves as soon as they pull on their bits—and we bow our heads. We even lose consciousness of the situation, we just submit. Any re-awakening of thought is then painful.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
