Famous quotes containing the words habitat and/or feeding:

    “Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “When all who had money and leisure
    Grew rural o’er ices and wines,
    All pleasantly toiling for pleasure,
    All hungrily pining for pines,
    And making of beautiful speeches,
    And marring of beautiful shows,
    And feeding on delicate peaches,
    And treading on delicate toes.”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
