Famous Quotes & Sayings

Aldous Huxley

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.

Alexander McCall Smith

Dogs are in on our human silliness; lions are not.

Alexander Pope

How do we know that we have a right to kill creatures that we are so little above, as dogs, for our curiosity or even for some use to us?

Alexander Pope

I am his Highness' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?

E. G. Marshall

I try to think what the character is thinking. Then, hopefully, I begin to feel it. I act and react not because Im recalling a dog killed by a fire engine, but because Im concentrating on what the character is going through.

E. L. Konigsburg

I'm not sure that love and like aren't like cats and dogs: One can't grow up to be the other, but they can be taught to live under the same roof.

E. M. Forster

Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.

E. M. Forster

A sentence begins quite simply, then it undulates and expands, parentheses intervene like quick-set hedges, the flowers of comparison bloom, and three fields off, like a wounded partridge, crouches the principal verb, making one wonder as one picks it up, poor little thing, whether after all it was worth such a tramp, so many guns, and such expensive dogs, and what, after all, is its relation to the main subject, potted so gaily half a page back, and proving finally to have been in the accusative case.

Drew Curtis

I'm not really sure what I'd like to see people doing more of online, but what I'd like to see less of is the warning signs that not ratifying net neutrality is gonna cause two separate nets: one that the big dogs can afford to be on and the other a ghetto internet that no one goes on. Think FM vs AM radio, or cable vs broadcast TV.

Tom Rath

When top scientists and psychologists talk about what's important to our overall wellbeing and how satisfied we are with our lives, the only thing that they all agree on is that social relationships are probably the single best predictor of our overall happiness.

John Lynch

We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.

Greg Aiello

The arbitrator's decision is consistent with our collective bargaining agreement, and it simply enforced the terms of the player's contract.

Grant Wilson

Whilst I agree that dialogue and discussion between members is important, and that members have a vested interest in what's going on in the various teams, I would have thought that it was patently obvious that carrying out this dialogue on such an open forum is naive in the extreme, potentially harmful and reflects badly on the whole club.

Terry Gough

I don't agree with the cookie-cutter mentality. It's maddening. It's sad and very frustrating.

Fred Janicke

They offered us a package that mirrored what we already had and a three-year contract agreement. It saved a lot of heartache.

Steve Largent

They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.

Jason Richardson

It was definitely a block. The two refs didn't agree on the call and that was the best they could do. How much I scored doesn't matter because we lost the game.

David Howe

Would I be out of line if I said amen to that? I agree with them wholeheartedly.
