Famous quotes containing the words national and/or animals:
“There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; anything that is national is not scientific.”

“Old women snore violently. They are like bodies into which bizarre animals have crept at night; the animals are vicious, bawdy, noisy. How they snore! There is no shame to their snoring. Old women turn into old men.”
