Creature Quotes

It is in this mutual dependence of the functions and the aid which they reciprocally lend one another that are founded the laws which determine the relations of their organs and which possess a necessity equal to that of metaphysical or mathematical laws, since it is evident that the seemly harmony between organs which interact is a necessary condition of existence of the creature to which they belong and that if one of these functions were modified in a manner incompatible with the modifications of the others the creature could no longer continue to exist Picture Quote #1

We have a deep need to affiliate, to be around people, and no creature on earth spends as much of its life depending on others as we do Picture Quote #1

Although I can’t stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life Picture Quote #1

One ought not to encourage beggars, and yes, you are right, it is far better to donate to charities that address the causes of poverty rather than to him, a creature who is merely its symptom Picture Quote #1

Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done Picture Quote #1

The person drawn to dance as profession is notoriously unintellectual. He thinks with his muscles, delights in expression with body, not words; finds analysis painful and boring; and is a creature of physical ebullience Picture Quote #1

This is writing. You cut out chunks of your own memories, rework them, bleed into them, breathe into the raw clay, and hope the creature lives Picture Quote #1

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system Picture Quote #1

The werewolf is neither man nor wolf, but a satanic creature with the worst qualities of both Picture Quote #1

When there is a storm in your life, it is not the time to build. No creature on earth tries to build during a storm. Conserve your energy until the storm passes Picture Quote #1

The cow is an exceptionally loving and gentle creature. She cries for days when her calf is taken from her. It is a pitiful sound, a pitiful sound Picture Quote #1

If you can capture a womans imagination, then you will have her. But imagination is a strange creature. It needs time and distance to function properly Picture Quote #1

The subject who speaks is situated in relation to the other. This privilege of the other ceases to be incomprehensible once we admit that the first fact of existence is neither being in itself nor being for itself but being for the other, in other words, that human existence is a creature. By offering a word, the subject putting himself forward lays himself open and, in a sense, prays Picture Quote #1

There’s no moral issue for me. I did the best science I could. I was struggling to survive and didn’t have the luxury of being a moral creature Picture Quote #1

I think people perceive my creatures as absurd because they look different, but at the same time, they are a little bit familiar. I want people to feel a kind of empathy with them. When you think about it, all nature is kind of strange looking.. in fact, I’m a strange a looking creature Picture Quote #1

You’d be forgiven for thinking that climate change means we’ll have to sacrifice our creature comforts. But it doesn’t have to be that way Picture Quote #1

The saving grace of the cinema is that with patience, and a little love, we may arrive at that wonderfully complex creature which is called man Picture Quote #1

Love is purely a creation of the human imagination... the most important example of how the imagination continually outruns the creature it inhabits Picture Quote #1

For the first time in four billion years a living creature had contemplated himself and heard with a sudden, unaccountable loneliness, the whisper of the wind in the night reeds Picture Quote #1

First, by the figurations of art there be made instruments of navigation without men to row them, as great ships to brooke the sea, only with one man to steer them, and they shall sail far more swiftly than if they were full of men; also chariots that shall move with unspeakable force without any living creature to stir them. Likewise an instrument may be made to fly withall if one sits in the midst of the instrument, and do turn an engine, by which the wings, being artificially composed, may beat the air after the manner of a flying bird Picture Quote #1

Standardized testing has swelled and mutated, like a creature in one of those old horror movies, to the point that it now threatens to swallow our schools whole Picture Quote #1

Every creature in the world is like a book and a picture and a mirror for us Picture Quote #1

The human being is an unequal creature. That is a fact. And we start off with the proposition. All the great religions, all the great movements, all the great political ideology, say let us make the human being as equal as possible. In fact, he is not equal, never will be Picture Quote #1

No living creature, not even man, has achieved, in the centre of his sphere, what the bee has achieved in her own: and were some one from another world to descend and ask of the earth the most perfect creation of the logic of life, we should needs have to offer the humble comb of honey Picture Quote #1

The true test of anyone’s worth as a living creature is how much he can utilize what he has Picture Quote #1

Man is the only creature disposed to kill huge numbers of members of his own species, and his instrument is usually the state Picture Quote #1

There is little to compare with the thrill of standing next to the creature in the winner’s enclosure avoiding his hooves and receiving the congratulations of the press, your trainer and friends who backed it. What makes the experience so satisfying is that you, the owner, have had absolutely nothing to do with the horse winning Picture Quote #1

The criterion of true beauty is, that it increases in examination; of false, that it lessens. There is something, therefore, in true beauty that corresponds with the right reason, and it is not merely the creature of fancy Picture Quote #1

Roscoe was spiritually illegal, a bootlegger of the soul, a mythic creature made of words and wit and wild deeds and boundless memory Picture Quote #1

To deprive a gregarious creature of companionship is to maim it, to outrage its nature. The prisoner and the cenobite are aware that the herd exists beyond their exile; they are an aspect of it. But when the herd no longer exists, there is, for the herd creature, no longer entity, a part of no whole; a freak without a place. If he cannot hold on to his reason, then he is lost indeed; most utterly, most fearfully lost, so that he becomes no more than the twitch in the limb of a corpse Picture Quote #1
