Famous quotes containing the words main and/or prey:
“The aphorism wants to be at the same time both main line and off beat.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“How insupportable would be the days, if the night with its dews and darkness did not come to restore the drooping world. As the shades begin to gather around us, our primeval instincts are aroused, and we steal forth from our lairs, like the inhabitants of the jungle, in search of those silent and brooding thoughts which are the natural prey of the intellect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
