Large Prey

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or prey:

“In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.”

“How insupportable would be the days, if the night with its dews and darkness did not come to restore the drooping world. As the shades begin to gather around us, our primeval instincts are aroused, and we steal forth from our lairs, like the inhabitants of the jungle, in search of those silent and brooding thoughts which are the natural prey of the intellect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
