Animal Action

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or action:

“In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be defined.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

“Without our being especially conscious of the transition, the word “parent” has gradually come to be used as much as a verb as a noun. Whereas we formerly thought mainly about “being a parent,” we now find ourselves talking about learning how “to parent.” . . . It suggests that we may now be concentrating on action rather than status, on what we do rather than what or who we are.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
