Animal Collections

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or collections:

    To the men of this world, to the animal strength and spirits, to the men of practical power, whilst immersed in it, the man of ideas appears out of his reason. They alone gave reason.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.
