Browse Quotations about Animals

A camel is a horse designed by a committee.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.
A fence should be horse high, hog tight and bull strong.

Animals often strike us as passionate machines.
Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.
