I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued we would need no zoos at all.

Man is the unnatural animal the rebel child of nature and more and more does he turn himself against the harsh and fitful hand that reared him.

Nature makes only dumb animals. We owe the fools to society.

Man is by nature a political animal.

I'm concentrating on staying healthy having peace being happy remembering what is important taking in nature and animals spending time reading trying to understand the universe where science and the spiritual meet.

I remember when first Stripes and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good.

Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller' I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.

I'd see movies comedies and I loved 'Animal House' I loved all the John Hughes stuff but I never saw me and my friends totally represented.

I could really use a corporate sponsor. People think that because you're in the movies you're rich. I have allocated all my resources to Shambala so the animals will always be safe.

I've always been an animal lover. I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I think that is what helped me get the role on 'Lassie' I was comfortable around the dog where many of the kids were afraid or intimidated by Lassie.

But of course when people watch morning television Terry it's a very different animal. You know they're running around they're getting their kids ready for school they're probably doing eight million things they're brushing their teeth.

Animals they are one of the most beautiful gifts we have and you know if there are people that have compassion there are very few people that put their money into animal rescue organizations. And if there is someone that has that passion animals need all the help they can get.

The thing that differentiates man from animals is money.

If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like 'How do we get one of those?' and she was like 'You can't get a dolphin. What are you gonna do like put it in your pool?'

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive but I have photographs of her.

Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals nay it is treachery to comrades.

If it's true that men are such beasts this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white or women created for men.

People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals.

A man is ethical only when life as such is sacred to him that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.

He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness more compassion more joy more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.

If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude then animals are better off than a lot of humans.

Animals are reliable many full of love true in their affections predictable in their actions grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

Strictly speaking my interest is not in legal rights for animals but in a change of heart towards animals.

Farming with live animals is a 7 day a week legal form of slavery.

Churchill was the canny political animal very devious bursting with energy and determination learning as hard as he could.
