Rats Fed

Famous quotes containing the words rats and/or fed:

    But suddenly it chanced to rain,
    And so they all went home again.
    —Unknown. Three Young Rats (l. 7–8)

    I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
