Horses

Famous quotes containing the word horses:

    We are like horses who hurt themselves as soon as they pull on their bits—and we bow our heads. We even lose consciousness of the situation, we just submit. Any re-awakening of thought is then painful.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    The horses show him nobler powers;
    O patient eyes, courageous hearts!
    Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    When I was young, beautiful ancient statues were castrated, so that the eye might not be corrupted.... Nothing was gained, unless horses and asses had also been castrated.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
