“There is a historic strain of dominion theology which says, taking its references from the Psalms, that man is made just a little lower than God, and that we are the crown of creation. That interpretation has come at the expense of the one that says when God, in the story of Noah, intervened to save human life against the flood, against the acts of nature, He did not stop with human beings. He made sure that every kind of animal was represented twice on that ark.” MenHumansKindLittlesMadeStoriesHuman BeingsAnimalCreationCreaturesTheologyHuman LifeInterpretationExpensesCrownsFloodStrainHistoricDominionPsalmsArk Author:Bill Moyers

“Animal crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop Gosh oh gee but I have fun Swallowing animals one by one In every bowl of soup I see Lions and Tigers watching me I make 'em jump right through a hoop Those animal crackers in my soup When I get hold of the big bad wolf I just push him under to drown Then I bite him in a million bits And I gobble him right down When their inside me where it's dark I walk around like Noah's ark I stuff my tummy like a goop With animal crackers in my soup.” BigsFunStuffBitsDarkWalksAnimalMillionsHaving FunEmsLionsBitesBowlsMonkeysSoupTigersRabbitsLoopsArkSwallowingCrackersNoah's ArkAnimal Crackers Author:Shirley Temple
“If you're Noah, and your ark is about to sink, look for the elephants first, because you can throw over a bunch of cats, dogs, squirrels, and everything else that is just a small animal and your ark will keep sinking. But if you can find one elephant to get overboard, you're in much better shape.” IfsFirstsLooksAnimalDogShapesCatBunchElephantsSinkingSquirrelsArkOverboardCat DogSmall Animals Author:Vilfredo Pareto
“When the animals entered the Ark in pairs, one may imagine that allied species made much private remark on each other, and were tempted to think that so many forms feeding on the same store of fodder were eminently superfluous, as tending to diminish the rations.” ThinkingMayMadeFormAnimalImagineSpeciesStoresPairsImagine ThatFeedingDiminishTemptedRemarksSuperfluousArkFodderRations Book:Middlemarch: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Source: Middlemarch: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
