Small Animal Track

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

    creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I fear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
