Famous quotes containing the words small and/or animals:
“Y’know, George, I feel that in a small way we’re doing something important. It’s satisfying a fundamental urge. It’s deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace. And we’re helping him get those things in our shabby little office.”
—Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)
“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
