We have spoken of beings so low in the scale that the individuals throughout their whole existence are not sufficiently specialized to be distinctively plant or animal: yet these are definite life in simpler shape.
Asa Gray

We say of an animal that it is intelligent, and we say the same thing of a woman; but in neither case is it usually appropriate, clearly for very different reasons.
Jose Bergamin

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.
Norman Jewison

We're animals. We're born like every other mammal and we live our whole lives around disguised animal thoughts.
Barbara Kingsolver

When a woman drinks it's as if an animal were drinking, or a child. Alcoholism is scandalous in a woman, and a female alcoholic is rare, a serious matter. It's a slur on the divine in our nature.
Marguerite Duras

When we have ceased to love the stench of the human animal, either in others or in ourselves, then are we condemned to misery, and clear thinking can begin.
Cyril Connolly

When, instead of merely associating some act with some situation in the animal way, we think the situation out, we have a set of particular feelings of its elements.
Edward Thorndike

Whenever you observe an animal closely, you feel as if a human being sitting inside were making fun of you.
Elias Canetti

With animal behavior, they're all fine until you introduce some rogue element into the cage, and then they go crazy.
Jeanette Winterson

With Animal Factory you'd think that because it's mostly interiors, you could shoot it anywhere. So we shot this in Philadelphia, and we had the cooperation of the prison system.
Steve Buscemi

Woman is a vulgar animal from whom man has created an excessively beautiful ideal.
Gustave Flaubert

You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.
Gavin DeGraw

You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life.
Jacob Bronowski

Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.
Dag Hammarskjold

Zero of Animal Life probably about 300 fathoms.
