Humane Letters Degree

Famous quotes containing the words humane, letters and/or degree:

    “No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does. The hare in its extremity cries like a child. I warn you, mothers, that my sympathies do not always make the usual philanthropic distinctions.”

    “This is the Night Mail crossing the Border,

    Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
    The shop at the corner, the girl next door.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “Maybe men are separated from each other only by the degree of their misery.”
