“Horniness and hunger are the actual elements that determine a groundhog’s behavior when it emerges in winter from months of hibernation.”
― Charles Panati, Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things

“Would that we all knew the cracked terrain of each other's broken hearts. Perhaps then, we would not be so cruel to those who walk this lonely world with us.”
― Sabaa Tahir, A ​Sky Beyond the Storm

“But then there is no love in the land of Midian—only religion, which preaches love and practices hate.”
― Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan Triumphant

“You mean to go out alone into this forest at night!" whispered Naomi, aghast. "Think of the lions!"

"I am thinking of them; but I'm thinking of some fat, greasy, black sultan too. I'd rather take a chance with the lion—he'd be sporting at least."

"It's all so horrible! Oh, why did I ever leave Hollywood!"

"D'you know it's a funny thing, Naomi, that a woman has to fear her own kind more than she does the beasts of the jungle. It sort o' makes one wonder if there isn't something wrong somewhere—it's hard to believe that a divine intelligence would create something in His own image that was more brutal and cruel and corrupt than anything else that He created. It kind of explains why some of the ancients worshipped snakes and bulls and birds. I guess they had more sense than we have.”
― Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan and the Lion Man
