Famous quotes containing the word animals:

    Of all the animals with which this globe is peopled, there is none towards whom nature seems, at first sight, to have exercised more cruelty than towards man, in the numberless wants and necessities with which she has loaded him, and in the slender means which she affords to the relieving these necessities.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Humans are amphibians—half spirit and half animal.... As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)

    To err is human also in so far as animals seldom or never err, or at least only the cleverest of them do so.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
