Famous quotes containing the words animal, plant and/or life:
“An animal can learn to fight, but to sing beautiful things and make people believe them....”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“If a plant cannot live according to its nature, it dies; and so a man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
