This man, lady, hath robb'd many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as a lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant-a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crush'd into folly, his folly sauced with discretion.
William Shakespeare
Image
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou has no name to be known by, let us call thee devil....O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!
William Shakespeare
Image
[There are dangers in] the disposition to hunt down rich men as if they were noxious beasts.
Winston Churchill
Image
But who can describe the overweening pride of men? Or women mad with passion, reckless in their hearts, soulmates to every kind of ruin that befalls us? Wild passion, unrestrained, boundless, that overcomes the women, perverts the yoke of wedlock for beasts and men alike.
Aeschylus
Image
Unions in wedlock are perverted by the victory of shameless passion that masters the female among men and beasts.
Aeschylus
Image
The lower animals are our brethren. I include among them the lion and the tiger. We do not know how to live with these carnivorous beasts and poisonous reptiles because of our ignorance.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If faces were not alike, we could not distinguish men from beasts if they were not different, we could not tell one man from another.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
There are few wild beasts more to be dreaded than a talking man having nothing to say.
Jonathan Swift
Image
We are beasts, you know, beasts risen from the savannas and jungles and forests. We have come down from the trees and up out of the water, but you can never, ever fully remove the feral nature from our psyches.
Yasmine Galenorn
Image
If the [Vestiges] be true, the labours of sober induction are in vain religion is a lie human law is a mass of folly, and a base injustice morality is moonshine our labours for the black people of Africa were works of madmen and man and woman are only better beasts!
Adam Sedgwick
Image
As a little girl, I didn't like stories about little girls. I liked stories about dragons and beasts and princes and princesses and fear and terror and the Four Musketeers and almost anything other than nice little girls making moral decisions about whether to tell the teacher about what the other little girl did or did not do.
A. S. Byatt

. . . the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony and man - all belong to the same family. . . . The White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers.
Chief Seattle
Image
No onslaught more fierce was ever seen in the savage world of beasts, where some desperate small creature armed with little teeth, alone, will spring upon a tower of horn and hide that stands above its fallen mate.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
Man was appointed by God to have dominion over the beasts, and everything a man does to an animal is either a lawful exercise or a sacrilegious abuse of an authority by divine right.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The salvation of birds and beasts, oneself included - this is the object of Shakyamuni's religious austerities.
Ikkyu
Image
This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers Gnaws iron, bites steel Grinds hard stones to meal Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
Calling someone a monster does not make him more guilty it makes him less so by classing him with beasts and devils.
Mary McCarthy
Image
Saying the lion is kind of the beasts says something about lions and also something about kings.
Judith Lynne Hanna
Image
It's our dreams that keep us going, that seperate us from the beasts. I wouldn't even want to live if I thought it was all just eating and sleeping and taking off my clothes.
Mary Chase
Image
See with your soul and not your eyes because to dance with the beasts you must penetrate their disguise.
P. C. Cast
Image
Although man is not armed by nature nor is naturally swiftest in flight, yet he has something better by far—reason. For by the possession of this function he exceeds the beasts to such a degree that he subdues. … You see, therefore, how much the gift of reason surpasses mere physical equipment.
Adelard of Bath
Image
Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.
Clarence Darrow
Image
I didn't want to talk, and I didn't think dogs could solve my problems. But they were so uncritical and un-judgmental. Sometimes when you're really blue, you don't want to talk, but you want that sense of companionship. I certainly enjoy that with my beasts.
Susan Orlean
Image
The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture, their amphitheaters, for wild beasts to fight in.
