No one can count the terrors that the earth spawns, catastrophic, gruesome, and the vast arms of the sea swarm with brute monsters bent on harm, and everywhere between the sky and ground lights bloom by day in flares and sudden bolts and birds and beasts alike can tell of the whirlwind's whirling wrath.
Aeschylus

Beasts kill for hunger, men for pay.
John Gay

There is, I have heard, a little thing called sunrise, in which the sun reverses the process we all viewed the night before. You might assume such a thing as mythical as those beasts that guard the corners of the earth, but I have it on the finest authority, and have, indeed, from time to time, regarded it with my own eyes.

When the mouth is closed it looks very voluptuous, beautiful. But when it opens its jaws the tongue inside the mouth is more like a spear... also very suggestive... which penetrates the head with greater velocity, snagging bits of brain. From Beauty to the Beast.
H. R. Giger

The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
He who knoweth not what he ought to know, is a brute beast among men he that knoweth no more than he hath need of, is a man among brute beasts and he that knoweth all that may be known, is as a God among men.
Pythagoras
Image
The difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this, that the beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.

Rebecca Solnit
Image
But I have long loved the written word, and come to see in it the power of the sleeping lion. This is my name. This is who I am. This is how I got here. In the absence of an audience, I will write down my story so that it waits like a restful beast with lungs breathing and heart beating.
Lawrence Hill
Image
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!

Nor bird nor beast Could make me wish for anything this day, Being old, but that the old alone might die, And that would be against God's Providence.
