Fox Species

Famous quotes containing the words fox and/or species:

    Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.
    —Charles James Fox (1749–1806)

    There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
