Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or animals:
“Comedy distances pain, but leaves signs of it everywhere.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The moles nested in my cellar, nibbling every third potato, and making a snug bed even there of some hair left after plastering and of brown paper; for even the wildest animals love comfort and warmth as well as man, and they survive the winter only because they are so careful to secure them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
