Animals Quotes

Humans like to think of themselves as unusual. We’ve got big brains that make it possible for us to think, and we think that we have free will and that our behavior can’t be described by some mechanistic set of theorems or ideas. But even in terms of much of our behavior, we really aren’t very different from other animals Picture Quote #1

The tabloids are like animals, with their own behavioural patterns. There’s no point in complaining about them, any more than complaining that lions might eat you Picture Quote #1

Elephants love to play around. They are very intelligent animals. They have a strong bond, at times stretching to several decades, with their mahouts Picture Quote #1

It’s one of the oldest theatrical adages: never work with children or animals Picture Quote #1

In Britain, the great hidden secret of talking animals and children’s literature is how political it was in its bones, beneath the obvious cuteness Picture Quote #1

Just as our ancient ancestors drew animals on cave walls and carved animals from wood and bone, we decorate our homes with animal prints and motifs, give our children stuffed animals to clutch, cartoon animals to watch, animal stories to read Picture Quote #1

I feel it in my bones that if I had a kid, I would not either continue to write or have written the book I have done. So it’s just me and the dog. I’ve always gotten along better with animals than I have with children, anyway Picture Quote #1

I was brought up to understand Darwin’s theory of evolution. I spent hours and hours in the Natural History Museum in London looking at the descriptions of how different kinds of animals had evolved, looking at the sequence of fossil bones looking gradually more and more and more and more like the modern fossil Picture Quote #1

There’s so many mysteries related to how flies are able to make their way through the world. I’d certainly like to know a lot more about how their brain works. I’d certainly like to know a lot more about just how they’re put together. I mean, these animals are basically, topologically, spheres. They don’t have bones as we do, of course Picture Quote #1

I started Friends of Finn to raise money and awareness about the issue of puppy mills, which are illegal breeding facilities where animals are often bred to death and mistreated. It’s a prevalent problem and a million dollar industry in the United States Picture Quote #1

Some animals utter a loud cry. Some are silent, and others have a voice, which in some cases may be expressed by a word; in others, it cannot. There are also noisy animals and silent animals, musical and unmusical kinds, but they are mostly noisy about the breeding season Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had a repulsion going in a place where animals are in captivity Picture Quote #1

I hate to witness animals in captivity - or see circus elephants paraded down the streets. When animals are caged, it’s a loss of what they are Picture Quote #1

I think we have a real obligation when we do have animals in captivity to understand their needs and to care for them as well as we can Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a love of animals from birth. I love getting to know other species. We should all be aware that there is not one thing we can give a wild animal in captivity that they need Picture Quote #1

Attempts to defend amusement parks and circuses on the grounds that they ‘educate’ people about animals should not be taken seriously. Such enterprises are part of the commercial entertainment industry. The most important lesson they teach impressionable young minds is that it is acceptable to keep animals in captivity for human amusement Picture Quote #1

It was wrong to capture wild animals and confine them in captivity for people to go and gawk at them. And that’s basically how zoos got started. But once you do that, and once you have animals that have been bred in captivity, you’re really stuck with them in some sense. You can’t return them to the wild Picture Quote #1

Well, my life is so centered around the people I care about, my animals, and my work Picture Quote #1

I don’t care how hot a girl is - if she doesn’t like animals, it would be a major, major problem Picture Quote #1

When I was 18 I worked with the Ringling Brothers circus, taking care of menagerie animals. I used to rather deliberately risk my life with the big cats Picture Quote #1

The producers of ‘The Hobbit’ take the welfare of all animals very seriously and have always pursued the highest standard of care for animals in their charge Picture Quote #1

What’s the reality of being inside a zoo, for the animals and for the people who love and care for those animals? There’s a lot of joy, and there’s a lot of loss Picture Quote #1

Besides Slayer, which is a full-time job, I raise animals. I have a ranch in Texas. My wife takes care of the animals when I’m on tour. When I get home, I become a ranch hand Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge animal lover - I love animals to death. I’ve got tortoises and three dogs, and I’ve had a million animals in the past. I just think that we should do all we can to take care of them Picture Quote #1

I’m very caring with animals. I think patience is a big deal, because animals are always jumping around. I love to take care of people, so I think I’d be a good vet. I always wanted to be a vet when I was little Picture Quote #1

People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets Picture Quote #1

We are seeing the cells of plants and animals more and more clearly as chemical factories, where the various products are manufactured in separate workshops Picture Quote #1

From the physical point of view, a man is nothing more than a system of cells, or from the mental point of view, than a system of representations; in either case, he differs only in degree from animals Picture Quote #1

I think that animals aren’t less intelligent than humans, they’re just of a different intelligence. We have five million smell-sensitive cells in our nose, they have two hundred and fifty million - they can smell emotion. They can smell different types of emotion, they just have another type of intelligence Picture Quote #1

Life evolved under conditions of light and darkness, light and then darkness. And so plants and animals developed their own internal clocks so that they would be ready for these changes in light. These are chemical clocks, and they’re found in every known being that has two or more cells and in some that only have one cell Picture Quote #1
