“I wish that the circuses that were around now felt like they did then. They're not quite as elegant or as magical as they used to be. There was something about the old tent shows, the Big Top, the canvas, the lights, the sawdust, the hay and the animals that's just missing now. Now, it's all urbanized and maybe a little garish.” LittlesShowsBigsLightUsedWishFeltAnimalMissingUsed To BeCanvasElegantCircusTentsHaySawdust Author:Francis Lawrence

“The usual sniggering examples of animal behaviour were brought in to explain cheating. Funny how the behaviour of shrews and gibbons is never used to explain table manners or road safety or gardening, only sex. Anyway, it was bad Darwinism. Taking the example of a monkey and applying it to yourself misses the point that animal behaviour is made for the benefit of the species, not as an excuse for the individual. Being incapable of sustaining a stable pair and supporting children is really not in the interests of our species. Neither is it really in the best interests of the philanderer.” ChildrenMadeUsedIndividualSexInterestAnimalMissingExampleEvolutionBenefitsSafetyTablesSpeciesExcuseMannersCheatingPairsUsualGardeningStableBehaviourIncapableMonkeysSustainingDarwinismTable MannersShrewsPhilanderer Author:A.

“First of all, I don't think they have to go that high. That is not necessary, to be that high in the air. I think they're showing off, those pilots. I think we could just go really fast just a few feet off the ground. Just high enough to miss the animals.” ThinkingFirstsEnoughAnimalAirFeetMissingFlyingPilotsShowing OffFeet Off The Ground Author:Ellen DeGeneres
“To describe an animal as a physico-chemical system of extreme complexityis no doubt perfectly correct, except that it misses out on the animalness of the animal.” AnimalDoubtMissingExtremesNo DoubtChemicals Author:E. F. Schumacher
