Barking Quotes

People idealise their animals, and at the same time they patronisingly overlook a dog’s natural life - biting fleas, burying bones, rolling in garbage, barking up an empty tree all night... But what do they do themselves? Bury stuff that will rot in secret and then dig it up and bury it again and rant and rave under empty trees! Picture Quote #1

We always see the Holocaust in terms of black-and-white images, barking Germans, cowering Jews. We know very well-known fixed places like Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, and Beltzec.

And I think that’s a problem, because it becomes ancient history Picture Quote #1

A dog is not considered good because of his barking, and a man is not considered clever because of his ability to talk Picture Quote #1

With my dog I don't get no respect. He keeps barking at the front door. He don't want to go out. He wants me to leave Picture Quote #1

If you were a kid actor, if you had any plans of being an actor as an adult, you were really barking up the wrong tree Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you have to understand that you push ahead, there’s going to be a lot of flak, there’s going to be a lot of dogs barking, but the wagon train moves ahead Picture Quote #1

Prowling the meanings of a word, prowling the history of a person, no use expecting a flood of light. Human words have no main switch. But all those little kidnaps in the dark. And then the luminous, big, shivering, discandied, unrepentant, barking web of them that hangs in your mind when you turn back to the page you were trying to translate Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness is not simply the absolving of an enemy, or one who has done us wrong. Forgiveness must encompass all those things which disturb the tranquility of our soul: the barking dog that robs you of sleep, the heat of summer, the cold of winter. Forgive the ingrown toenail, the flea that bites; forgive the cranky child, wrinkles, a forgotten birthday Picture Quote #1

He had one uniform practice, and a very bad one it was, during the time of family worship, and just three or four seconds before the conclusion of the prayer, he started to his feet, and ran barking round the apartment like a crazed beast Picture Quote #1

Walk some night on a suburban street and pass house after house on both sides of the same street each with the lamplight of the living room, shining golden, and inside the little blue square of the television, each living family riveting its attention on probably one show; nobody talking; silence in the yards; dogs barking at you because you pass on human feet instead of wheels Picture Quote #1

... in the woods, if you stopped, if you grew still, you’d hear a whole new set of sounds, wind rasping through silhouetted leaves and the cries and chatter of blue jays and brown thrashers and redbirds and sparrows, the calling of crows and hawks, squirrels barking, frogs burping, the far braying of dogs, armadillos snorkeling through dead leaves Picture Quote #1

This is a little off subject, but I’m interested in those cases where someone is barking up the wrong tree, or misapplying their talent Picture Quote #1

Truth is a good dog; but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out Picture Quote #1
