Famous quotes containing the word animals:

    Thou almost mak’st me waver in my faith
    To hold opinion with Pythagoras,
    That souls of animals infuse themselves
    Into the trunks of men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    —C.S. (Clive Staples)

    There is nothing worse than an idle hour, with no occupation offering. People who have many such hours are simply animals waiting docilely for death. We all come to that state soon or late. It is the curse of senility.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
