Small Animal Track

Famous quotes containing the words small, animal and/or track:

    There are no small number of people in this world who, solitary by nature,
    always try to go back into their shell like a hermit crab or a snail.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can’t even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.
    Norman Douglas (1868–1952)

    What joy when the insouciant
    armadillo glances at us and doesn’t
    quicken his trotting
    across the track into the palm brush.
    What is this joy? That no animal
    falters, but knows what it must do?
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
