Famous quotes containing the words scavenger and/or animals:

“Little scavenger away,
touch not the door,
beat not the portal down.”

“The moles nested in my cellar, nibbling every third potato, and making a snug bed even there of some hair left after plastering and of brown paper; for even the wildest animals love comfort and warmth as well as man, and they survive the winter only because they are so careful to secure them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
