Big Wet Asses

Famous quotes containing the words big, wet and/or asses:

    The whole shadow of Man is only as big as his hat.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    O, you shall see him laugh till his face be like a wet cloak
    ill laid up.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion.... Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
