Furry Animals Gathered

Famous quotes containing the words furry, animals and/or gathered:

    Horse, you flame thrower,
    you shark-mouthed man,
    you laughter at the end of poems,
    you brown furry locomotive
    whipping the snow, I am
    a pale shadow beside you.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The greatness of man is so evident that it is even proved by his wretchedness. For what in animals is nature, we call in man wretchedness—by which we recognize that, his nature being now like that of animals, he has fallen from a better nature which once was his.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavouring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
