Animal Metabolism

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or metabolism:

    There is no mystery in the luminous lines
    Of that high, animal face
    The smile, sad, humouring and equal
    Blesses without obliging
    Loves without condescension;
    Denis Devlin (1908–1959)

    He’s got a fifteen percent metabolism with an overactive thyroid and a glandular affectation of about three percent. With a one percent mentality. He’s what we designate as the Crummy Moronic type.
