Famous quotes containing the word animals:

    Thou almost mak’st me waver in my faith
    To hold opinion with Pythagoras,
    That souls of animals infuse themselves
    Into the trunks of men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
