Animal Practice

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or practice:

“... found myself
myself, smaller,
not thin but thinner, nervous,
who hurries without animal calm.”

“In my practice I’ve seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away. Only it happens slowly instead of all at once. I didn’t seem to mind.... All of us, a little bit. We harden our hearts. Grow callous. Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us, how dear.”
—Daniel Mainwaring (1902–1977)
