Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or names:

    “... found myself
    myself, smaller,
    not thin but thinner, nervous,
    who hurries without animal calm.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    ““Well then, it’s Granny speaking: ‘I dunnow!
    Mebbe I’m wrong to take it as I do.
    There ain’t no names quite like the old ones, though,
    Nor never will be to my way of thinking.
    One mustn’t bear too hard on the newcomers,
    But there’s a dite too many of them for comfort....’””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
