Famous quotes containing the words dogs and/or cats:

    Like dogs in Mexico,
    furless, sore, misshapen,
    arrives from laborious nowhere
    Agony.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Pollicle dogs and cats all must
    Jellicle cats and dogs all must
    Like undertakers, come to dust.
    Here a little dog I pause
    Heaving up my prior paws,
    Pause, and sleep endlessly.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
