From Beryl Markham's West with the Night:

"To venture ... close (to a lion) on foot ... would mean the sudden shattering of any kindly belief that the similarity of the lion and the pussy cat goes much beyond their whiskers. But then, since men still live by the sword, it's a little optimistic to expect the lion to withdraw his claws, handicapped as he is by his inability to read our better effusions about the immorality of bloodshed."

(Quoting her friend Tom Black on an amateur hunter's injury:) "Lion, rifles -- and stupidity."

"None of the characters in (the story) were distinguished ones -- not eve the lion.
He was an old lion, prepared from birth to lose his life rather than to leave it. But he had the dignity of all free creatures, and so he was allowed his moment. It was hardly a glorious moment.
The two men who shot him were indifferent as men go, or perhaps they were less than that. At least they shot him without killing him, and then turned the unsconscionable eye of a camera upon his agony. It was a small, a stupid, but a callous crime."

Life of Pi is on the list twice (and I can't let the system do a 'check for duplicates' as the description also mentions 'on its cover'...)
