Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or names:

    “Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.”
    —Stuart Chase (1888–1985)

    “Row after row with strict impunity
    The headstones yield their names to the element,
    The wind whirrs without recollection....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
