Famous quotes containing the words mouse and/or cleaning:
“It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The disgust with dirt can be so great that it keeps us from cleaning ourselves—from “justifying” ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
