“I cannot see the short, white curls Upon the forehead of an Ox, But what I see them dripping with That poor thing's blood, and hear the ax; When I see calves and lambs, I see Them led to death; I see no bird Or rabbit cross the open field But what a sudden shot is heard; A shout that tells me men aim true, For death or wound, doth chill me through. W.H. Davies I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me.” MenHas BeensWhiteAnimalPoorResultsStudyHeardBloodFieldsCreaturesBirdShotsCrossesAimWoundsTraitsDispositionChillRabbitsForeheadsLambsCurlsHumiliatingDrippingCalvesOpen Fields Author:Mark Twain

“American gentlemen are a cross between English and French men, and yet really altogether like neither. They are more refined and modest than Frenchmen, and less manly, shy, and rough, than Englishmen. Their brains are finer and flimsier, their bodies less robust and vigorous than ours. We are the finer animals, and they the subtler spirits. Their intellectual tendency is to excitement and insanity, and ours to stagnation and stupidity.” MenBodySpiritAnimalBrainIntellectualCrossesStupidityTendenciesInsanityExcitementGentlemanShyRoughModestEnglishmenVigorousRefinedManlyRobustStagnationFrenchmenGentility Book:Further Records, 1848-1883: A Series of Letters Source: Further Records, 1848-1883: A Series of Letters
“The center of life is female - we all come from our mothers. I've always drawn women or female spirits. I feel deeply about this - who gives a damn about some guy on a cross? My mother's creativity was smothered after she married and raised a family, but she was supportive of me - even my father expected me to carry on in her footsteps. I prefer to have no kids but lots of animals.” GivingFeelsKidsLife IsSpiritMotherGuyFatherAnimalCreativityMarriedFemaleCrossesRaisedExpectedDamnSupportiveFootsteps Author:Vali Myers
