European Brown Bear

Famous quotes containing the words european, brown and/or bear:

    Being human signifies, for each one of us, belonging to a class, a society, a country, a continent and a civilization; and for us European earth-dwellers, the adventure played out in the heart of the New World signifies in the first place that it was not our world and that we bear responsibility for the crime of its destruction.
    Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)

    Although the stupid, unthinking world may approve what you have done, in your heart you know that, but for your treachery, the boy you loved would be alive today. If anyone is responsible for his death, you killed him, and for that murder you will live and die in the contempt and loathing of your own heart.
    —Karl Brown (1897–1990)

    Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
