Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or husbandry:

    “The animal is one with its life activity. It does not distinguish the activity from itself. It is its activity. But man makes his life activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. He has a conscious life activity. It is not a determination with which he is completely identified.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “All her husbandry doth lie on heaps,
    Corrupting in its own fertility.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
