Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or rescue:
“... found myself
myself, smaller,
not thin but thinner, nervous,
who hurries without animal calm.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
