Animal Flesh

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or flesh:

“The boxer’s ring is the enjoyment of the part of society whose animal nature alone has been developed.”

“Loving feels lonely in a violent world,
irrelevant to people burning like last year’s weed
with bellies distended, with fish throats agape
and flesh melting down to glue.
We can no longer shut out the screaming
That leaks through the ventilation system ...”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
