Famous quotes containing the words scavenger and/or animals:

“Little scavenger away,
touch not the door,
beat not the portal down.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“The vast results obtained by Science are won by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which are practiced by every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. A detective policeman discovers a burglar from the marks made by his shoe, by a mental process identical with that by which Cuvier restored the extinct animals of Montmartre from fragments of their bones.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
