Famous quotes containing the words endangered and/or species:

    Man is imperfect. The reality he creates is always endangered by man.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat ... but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.
    Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
