Famous quotes containing the words jumping and/or mice:
“Everything seems beautiful because you don’t understand. Those flying fish, they’re not leaping for joy, they’re jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies, the glitter of putrescence. There’s no beauty here, only death and decay.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
“For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
