Famous quotes containing the words prehistoric, animal and/or life:

    Of course
    the New Testament is very small.
    Its mouth opens four times
    as out-of-date as a prehistoric monster,
    yet somehow man-made....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    You don’t want to be an animal, you want to observe your own animal functions, so as to get a mental thrill out of them. It is all purely secondary—and more decadent than the most hide-bound intellectualism.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
