Animal Skin

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or skin:

    Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    You flicker. I cannot touch you.
    I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.

    And it exhausts me to watch you
    Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
