Host Animal

Famous quotes containing the words host and/or animal:

“Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We say of an animal that it is intelligent, and we say the same thing of a woman; but in neither case is it usually appropriate—clearly for very different reasons.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
