Creature Quotes

Man is a creature composed of countless millions of cells: a microbe is composed of only one, yet throughout the ages the two have been in ceaseless conflict 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

Man is a creature adapted for life under circumstances which are very narrowly limited. A few degrees of temperature more or less, a slight variation in the composition of air, the precise suitability of food, makes all the difference between health and sickness; between life and death Picture Quote #1

The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses. No creature who began as a mathematical improbability, who was selected through millions of years of unprecedented environmental hardship and change for ruggedness, ruthlessness, cunning, and adaptability, and who in the short ten thousand years of what we may call civilization has achieved such wonders as we find about us, may be regarded as a creature without promise Picture Quote #1

There’s a flame of magic inside every stone and every flower, every bird that sings and every frog that croaks. There’s magic in the trees and the hills and the river and the rocks, in the sea and the stars and the wind, a deep, wild magic that’s as old as the world itself. It’s in you too, my darling girl, and in me, and in every living creature, be it ever so small. Even the dirt I’m sweeping up now is stardust. In fact, all of us are made from the stuff of stars Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins Picture Quote #1

There’s no creature on Earth so despicable and loathsome as a rich man with a conscience Picture Quote #1

What a wonderful phenomenon it is, carefully considered, when the human eye, that jewel of organic structures, concentrates it's moist brilliance on another human creature! Picture Quote #1

Africa gives you the knowledge that man is a small creature, among other creatures, in a large landscape Picture Quote #1

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

The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it Picture Quote #1

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people Picture Quote #1

You forget too much that every creature, female as the male, stands single in responsible act and thought, as also in birth and death Picture Quote #1

Man - a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired Picture Quote #1

There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible Picture Quote #1

The angel that presided o'er my birth said, little creature, formed of joy and mirth, go love without the help of any thing on earth Picture Quote #1

Like most qualities, cuteness is delineated by what it isn't. Most people aren't cute at all, or if so they quickly outgrow their cuteness... Elegance, grace, delicacy, beauty, and a lack of self-consciousness: a creature who knows he is cute soon isn't Picture Quote #1

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man’s. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself? Picture Quote #1

Henry loves my hair almost as though it is a creature unto itself, as though it has a soul to call its own, as though it could love him back Picture Quote #1

People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the common bacillus Picture Quote #1

Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger Picture Quote #1

Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out Picture Quote #1

A vain man is a nauseous creature: he is so full of himself that he has no room for anything else, be it never so good or deserving Picture Quote #1

We have lost confidence in reason because we have learned that man is chiefly a creature of habit and emotion Picture Quote #1

The more a human creature has tasted of bitter things the more it hungers after the sweet things of life Picture Quote #1

There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him.... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes Picture Quote #1

He was like some wild, untamed creature that you could keep and feed for a time, but in the end you knew you’d have to let it go for its own sake as well as yours Picture Quote #1

Cut a chrysalis open, and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly, a fit emblem for the human soul, for those whose cast of mind leads them to seek such emblems. No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay Picture Quote #1

Each individual possesses a conscience which to a greater or lesser degree serves to restrain the unimpeded flow of impulses destructive to others. But when he merges his person into an organizational structure, a new creature replaces autonomous man, unhindered by the limitations of individual morality, freed of humane inhibition, mindful only of the sanctions of authority Picture Quote #1

I think the biggest reason otherwise radical people don’t want to face the necessity of ending industrial civilization is privilege. We’re the ones reaping the benefits. We’ve sold out the rest of life on earth for convenience, creature comforts, and cheap consumer goods, and it’s appalling. I’m sickened by this bargain Picture Quote #1
