“Man is always something worse or something better than an animal; and a mere argument from animal perfection never touches him at all. Thus, in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus no animal invented anything so bad as drunkeness – or so good as drink.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Music is a wind that blows away the years, memories, and fear, that crouching animal I carry inside me.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
"They told us if they kill all the lions the wildlife will disappear, so now those who become warriors are those with higher education, not those who kill lions."
Quote by -Malala Yousafzai
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
"Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work, worthy of the interposition of a deity. More humble, and I believe truer, to consider him created from animals."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
"I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"Kindness and compassion towards all living things is a mark of a civilized society. Conversely, cruelty, whether it is directed against human beings or against animals, is not the exclusive province of any one culture or community of people."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We know we cannot be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them -- exploiting animals in the name of science, exploiting animals in the name of sport, exploiting animals in the name of fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"If you are interested in preventing animal suffering, the first thing you should give up is eggs and milk because the animals who produce those foods lead the most unhappy lives. You would do better to eat meat and stop eating eggs and dairy products."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"In 1968, I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry, and unhappy like we do.."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"I like all these little animals that run and eat and hide all the time. I like their faces, They seem to be scared and curious at the same time."
Quote by -Catherine Deneuve
"I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"I love things made out of animals. It's just so funny to think of someone saying, "I need a letter opener. I guess I'll have to kill a deer."
Quote by -David Sedaris
“Human needs arrange themselves in hierarchies of pre-potency. That is to say, the appearance of one need usually rests on the prior satisfaction of another, more pre-potent need. Man is a perpetually wanting animal. Also no need or drive can be treated as if it were isolated or discrete; every drive is related to the state of satisfaction or dissatisfaction of other drives. 8.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this - no dog exchanges bones with another.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog. Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that....But man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favour, and show them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them. Whoever offers to another a bargain of any kind, proposes to do this. Give me that which I want, and you shall have this which you want, is the meaning of every such offer; and it is in this manner that we obtain from one another the far greater part of those good offices which we stand in need of.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Every species of animals naturally multiplies in proportion to the means of their subsistence, and no species can ever multiply beyond it. But in civilised society it is only among the inferior ranks of people that the scantiness of subsistence can set limits to the further multiplication of the human species; and it can do so in no other way than by destroying a great part of the children which their fruitful marriages produce.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Every species of animals naturally multiplies in proportion to the means of their subsistence, and no species can ever multiply be yond it. But in civilized society, it is only among the inferior ranks of people that the scantiness of subsistence can set limits to the further multiplication of the human species;”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Some believe what separates men from animals is our ability to reason. Others say it’s language or romantic love, or opposable thumbs. Living here in this lost world, I’ve come to believe it is more than our biology. What truly makes us human is our unending search, our abiding desire for immortality.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
Animals are neither gods nor fiends, but men in their way without the lust and greed of man.
Quote by -Robert Ervin Howard
Our brains are very animal but also very strange and egotistical. We're narcissistic.
Quote by -Zoe Saldana
Animals eat one another without qualm; civilized men consume one another by due process of law. Co-operation
Quote by -Will Durant
I am not a person and I am not an animal. There is something I am here for something I must do before I can go.
Quote by -William Seward
As a draft-animal is yoked in a wagon, even so the spirit is yoked in this body
Quote by -Thomas Hobbes
All the animals, the plants, the minerals, even other kinds of men, are being broken and reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom, but the least free of all.
Quote by -Thomas Pynchon
We thought we had elevated animal behavior to an art form. But then we met Ozzy.
Quote by -Tommy Lee
The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.
Quote by -Tommy Lee
We are the only animals that tell stories to understand the world we live in.
Quote by -Salman Rushdie
Man is the Storytelling Animal, and that in stories are his identity, his meaning, and his lifeblood.
Quote by -Salman Rushdie
Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
Quote by -Samuel Beckett
All animals except man know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.
Quote by -Samuel Beckett
If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what life is about.
Quote by -Sandra Bullock
If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what life is about.
Quote by -Sandra Bullock
Look, PETA! If God hadn't wanted us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them so darn tasty!
Quote by -Stephen Colbert
All Dogs Go To Heaven? Sorry, kids. It's only the dogs who've accepted Christ.
Quote by -Stephen Colbert
So if animals aren't our friends, then what are they? The answer can be summed up between two buns.
