Rabbit/reproduction

Famous quotes containing the words rabbit and/or reproduction:

    The rabbit presses back her ears,
    Turns back her liquid, anguished eyes
    And crouches low; then with wild spring
    Spurts from the terror of his oncoming;
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Although Samuel had a depraved imagination—perhaps even because of this—love, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: “Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.”
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
