Famous Quotes & Sayings

H. P. Lovecraft

The dog is a peasant and the cat is a gentleman.

We are not looking for the dog but we are holding the hair as evidence.

Tom Williams

We have a huge stray dog population problem in this county. We're overrun by cats, too.

William Shakespeare

Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well, Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand, Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes, Albeit unused to the melting mood, Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees Their medicinable gum. Set you down this, And say besides that in Aleppo once, Where a malignant and a turbaned Turk Beat a Venetian and traduced the state, I took by th' throat the circumcised dog And smote him thus.

William Shakespeare

O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, / That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!

William Shakespeare

A pox o’ your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!

Maurice Maeterlinck

In the world which we know, among the different and primitive geniuses that preside over the evolution of the several species, there exists not one, excepting that of the dog, that ever gave a thought to the presence of man.

I've heard there are vegan corn dogs - I don't know if that's true but, jeez, I'd love to eat one of them.

Dani Shapiro

A writer with her work needs to be like a dog with a bone all the time. She needs to know where she's hidden it. Where she's stored the good stuff. She needs to keep gnawing at it, even after all the meat seems to be gone. When a student of mine says (okay, whines) that she's impatient, or tired, or the worst: isn't it good enough? this may be harsh, but she loses just a little bit of my respect. Because there is no room for impatience, or exhaustion, or self-satisfaction, or laziness. All of these really mean, simply, that the inner censor has won the day.

Claude Shannon

I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines.

Welcome to the greatest dog show in the world. This is the only time all year when all the great dogs are in the same place at the same time.

We're trying to retire out of it. But the dogs will never retire. We've had some until they were 17, 20 years old just because they're in such good shape. They're really athletes.

Claude Shannon

I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans. And I am rooting for the machines.

Cleveland Amory

There are only two ways out for animals at pounds--being adopted or being killed. And cats have such a low rate of adoption that many pounds, even in some larger cities, don't bother to take them in at all. Not for nothing is it always the "dog pound" and never the "cat pound.

Daphne du Maurier

Why did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Jasper, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed. Cars being brought to the door. Dogs standing with drooping tails, dejected eyes. Wandering back to their baskets in the hall when the sound of the car dies away.

Dante Alighieri

Here we find the moat of thieves. And just as a lizard, with a quick, slick slither, Flicks across the highway from hedge to hedge, Fleeter than a flash, in the battering dog-day weather, A fiery little monster, livid, in a rage, Black as any peppercorn, came and made a dart At the guts of the others, and leaping to engage One of the pair, it pierced him at the part Through which we first draw food; then loosed its grip And fell before him, outstretched and apart.

Dan Savage

I'm allergic to dogs, so I couldn't even adopt what gay men typically adopt when they have that maternal gene.

Dan Rather

The press is a watchdog. Not an attack dog. Not a lapdog. A watchdog. Now, a watchdog can't be right all the time. He doesn't bark only when he sees or smells something that's dangerous. A good watchdog barks at things that are suspicious.

Dan Rather

If you're in Journalism and you're looking for friends, you should get a dog.

Dan Fogelberg

The dogs, and home, privacy is my constant.

Danielle Panabaker

I don't think anyone would care about my private life because I don't do anything. I'm at home with my dog.

Daniel Okrent

I'm afraid we'll see reporters stop chasing quotes around the same time dogs stop chasing cars.

Cornelia Funke

I have two Iceland horses, a very hairy dog called Looney, and a guinea pig.

Cornelia Funke

I like to visit my horse, have a walk with my dog.

Cormac McCarthy

It had ceased raining in the night and he walked out on the road and called for the dog. He called and called. Standing in that inexplicable darkness. Where there was no sound anywhere save only the wind. After a while he sat in the road. He took off his hat and placed it on the tarmac before him and he bowed his head and held his face in his hands and wept. He sat there for a long time and after a while the east did gray and after a while the right and godmade sun did rise, once again, for all and without distinction.

Clifford D. Simak

These are the stories the Dogs tell, when the fires burn high and the wind is from the north.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Dogs are the magicians of the universe.

Conan O'Brien

Today, Snoop Dog endorsed Ron Paul for president. Snoop said he likes Paul's positions on everything from legalizing pot ... to legalizing pot.

Conan O'Brien

A new report says that dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with almost 98 percent accuracy. The report also finds that cats can sniff it out with 100 percent accuracy but they prefer to watch you die.

E. V. Lucas

What kind of life a dog . . . acquires. I have sometimes tried to imagine by kneeling or lying full length on the ground and looking up. The world then becomes strangely incomplete; one sees little but legs.

E. W. Howe

E. W. Howe
