Animal Cunning

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or cunning:

    Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.
    Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)

    One night, under cover of darkness, and further concealed in a most cunning disguisement, a desperate burglar slid into his happy home, and robbed them all of everything. And darker yet to tell, the blacksmith himself did ignorantly conduct this burglar into his family’s heart. It was the Bottle Conjurer! Upon the opening of that fatal cork, forth flew the fiend, and shrivelled up his home.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
