Creature Quotes

So much of our lives is given over to the consideration of our imperfections that there is no time to improve our imaginary virtues. The truth is we only perfect our vices, and man is a worse creature when he dies than he was when he was born Picture Quote #1

We’ve restored life where life was extinct. It’s no longer sufficient to bring the dead back to life. We must create from the beginning, we must build up our own creature, build it up from nothing Picture Quote #1

I just like the idea of this creature or a being on the roof, you know? It’s kind of spooky Picture Quote #1

The bore is usually considered a harmless creature, or of that class of irrationa bipeds who hurt only themselves Picture Quote #1

Man is the only creature we know, that, when the term of his natural life is ended, leaves the memory of himself behind him Picture Quote #1

There cannot be found in the animal kingdom a bat, or any other creature, so blind in its own range of circumstance and connection, as the greater majority of human beings are in the bosoms of their families Picture Quote #1

I was obliged to stand there, holding the leash of this creature for their welcoming publicity shots, implying that this was some kind of image the decided to have of me Picture Quote #1

I am provocative, and I admit this. It isn’t as if I’m only on the receiving end, a poor, frail little creature. I can be thoroughly nasty when I get going, and I don’t pull my punches Picture Quote #1

I think there is something for all of us where you find a balance in your life, where you feel that everything you do isnt about your own creature comforts or satisfying your own appetites. Some of it has to be directed outward and there is a huge satisfaction in that Picture Quote #1

Nine years after I had my own accident, I find that in trying to go back to doing those things that I used to do just doesn’t fit. Everything seems to just fall apart. I don’t know why but I think it is because I am this new creature Picture Quote #1

Man is a creature who walks in two worlds and traces upon the walls of his cave the wonders and the nightmare experiences of his spiritual pilgrimage Picture Quote #1

It is not a case we are treating; it is a living, palpitating, alas, too often suffering fellow creature Picture Quote #1

The most reliable joy is to be out of doors, to be a creature among other creatures. I find it very restful Picture Quote #1

Nature, in her blind thirst for life has filled every possible cranny of the rotting earth with some sort of fantastic creature Picture Quote #1

What a curious creature is man; with what a variety of powers and faculties is he endued; yet how easily is he disturbed and put out of order Picture Quote #1

It seems almost incredible that the advocates of liberty should conceive of the idea of selling a fellow creature to slavery Picture Quote #1

Thus man of all creatures is more than a creature, he is also a creator. Man alone can direct his success mechanism by the use of imagination, or imaging ability Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the best function of parenthood is to teach the young creature to love with safety, so that it may be able to venture unafraid when later emotion comes; the thwarting of the instinct to love is the root of all sorrow and not sex only but divinity itself is insulted when it is repressed. To disapprove, to condemn the human soul shrivels under barren righteousness Picture Quote #1

I want to hear from the creature who isn’t blessed with unbelievable good looks and incredible genes. I want to hear from the geek girl, the forgotten girl, the invisible girl and the miserable girl Picture Quote #1

Man is a competitive creature, and the seeds of conflict are built deep into our genes. We fought each other on the savannah and only survived against great odds by organising ourselves into groups which would have had a common purpose, giving morale and fortitude Picture Quote #1

As much as I admire and value intellectualism and experimentation, I’ve discovered that unless a book has a throbbing heart as well as a sexy brain, I feel like the story is a specimen in a sealed glass jar and not a living, breathing creature I want to take by the hand and talk to for hours on end Picture Quote #1

All day, the colors had been those of dusk, mist moving like a water creature across the great flanks of mountains possessed of ocean shadows and depths Picture Quote #1

She could walk through a lightning storm without being touched; grab a bolt of lightning in the palm of her hand; use the heat of lightning to start the kindling going under her medicine pot. She turned the moon into salve, the stars into swaddling cloth, and healed the wounds of every creature walking up on two or down on four Picture Quote #1

Skill alone cannot teach or produce a great short story, which condenses the obsession of the creature; it is a hallucinatory presence manifest from the first sentence to fascinate the reader, to make him lose contact with the dull reality that surrounds him, submerging him in another that is more intense and compelling Picture Quote #1

Kindness. The only possible method when dealing with a living creature. You’ll get nowhere with an animal if you use terror, no matter what its level of development may be. That I have maintained, do maintain and always will maintain. People who think you can use terror are quite wrong. No, no, terror is useless, whatever its colour – white, red or even brown! Terror completely paralyses the nervous system Picture Quote #1

Discipline isn’t about showing a dog who’s boss; it’s about taking responsibility for a living creature you have brought into your world Picture Quote #1

After all the world is indeed beautiful and if we were any other creature than man we might be continuously happy in it Picture Quote #1

Courage is a fickle creature. Just as you need it, it often makes excuses and rushes out of the room Picture Quote #1

It’s a weird curse, when you think about it. We’re built for thought, and civilization, more than any other creature we’ve found. And all we really want to be is killers Picture Quote #1

I think that others can drive a creature to naughtiness, always accusing and blaming them. After a while it must make the creature unhappy and drive him... to be naughty, because nobody expects them to be good Picture Quote #1
