Animal Skin

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or skin:

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

    The hand I burned and whose skin is shriveled like that of a mummy’s is less sensitive than the other to cold or heat. My soul is the same; it passed through fire.
