Animal Farm Napoleon Quotes

1. "I'm not a robot. I'm a freak of the universe ... a thinking animal ... and I'm trying to see my way clear through this morass."
Author: Alfred Bester

2. "What if I'm so broken I can never do something as basic as feed myself? Do you realize how twisted that is? It amazes me sometimes that humans still exist. We're just animals, after all. And how can an animal get so removed from nature that it loses the instinct to keep itself alive?"
Author: Amy Reed

3. "I am the saint at prayer on the terrace like the peaceful beasts that graze down to the sea of Palestine.I am the scholar of the dark armchair. Branches and rain hurl themselves at the windows of my library.I am the pedestrian of the highroad by way of the dwarf woods; the roar of the sluices drowns my steps. I can see for a long time the melancholy wash of the setting sun.I might well be the child abandoned on the jetty on its way to the high seas, the little farm boy following the lane, its forehead touching the sky.The paths are rough. The hillocks are covered with broom. The air is motionless. How far away are the birds and the springs! It can only be the end of the world ahead."
Author: Arthur Rimbaud

4. "Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think."
Author: Arthur Schopenhauer

5. "It's not my fault if the media and the public are more interested in Tiger Woods than in women farm workers."
Author: Gloria Allred

6. "The animal should not be measured by man. In a world older than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the sense we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear."

7. "Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
Author: Herman Göhring

8. "Smoking I find the most ridiculous of all the varieties of human behavior and practically the only one that is entirely against nature. Can you imagine a cow or any animal taking a mouthful of smoldering straw then breathing in the smoke and blowing it out through its nostrils?"
Author: Ian Fleming

9. "Give your dog or cat respect, patience, understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week, that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel."
Author: Ingrid Newkirk

10. "Truth be told, evolution hasn't yielded many practical or commercial benefits. Yes, bacteria evolve drug resistance, and yes, we must take countermeasures, but beyond that there is not much to say. Evolution cannot help us predict what new vaccines to manufacture because microbes evolve unpredictably. But hasn't evolution helped guide animal and plant breeding? Not very much. Most improvement in crop plants and animals occurred long before we knew anything about evolution, and came about by people following the genetic principle of ‘like begets like'. Even now, as its practitioners admit, the field of quantitative genetics has been of little value in helping improve varieties. Future advances will almost certainly come from transgenics, which is not based on evolution at all."
Author: Jerry A. Coyne

11. "Quando montava o Salomão, a subhro sempre lhe havia parecido que o mundo era pequeno, mas hoje, no cais do porto de génova, alvo dos olhares de centenas de pessoas literalmente embevecidas pelo espectáculo que lhes estava sendo oferecido, quer com a sua própria pessoa quer com um animal em todos os aspectos tão desmedido que obedecia ás suas ordens, fritz contemplava com uma espécie de desdém a multidão, e, num insólito instante de lucidez e relativização, pensou que, bem vistas as coisas, um arquiduque, um rei, um imperador não são mais do que cornacas montados num elefante."
Author: José Saramago

12. "Maybe most important, farm food itself is totally different from what most people now think of as food: none of those colorful boxed and bagged products, precut, parboiled, ready to eat, and engineered to appeal to our basest desires. We were selling the opposite: naked, unprocessed food, two steps from the dirt."
Author: Kristin Kimball

13. "Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste."
Author: Mark Twain

14. "Let's just call things what they are. When a man's love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice."
Author: Matthew Scully

15. "Because pandemics almost always begin with the transmission of an animal microbe to a human, it's work that takes me all around the globe - from rain forest hunting camps of central Africa to wild animal markets of east Asia."
Author: Nathan Wolfe

16. "To give a child animal products is a form of child abuse."
Author: Neal Barnard

17. "Forget you are a man. Loose the animal you hide inside."
Author: Pamela Clare

18. "An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable."

19. "What would you prefer? Life in a maximum-security prison or trapped in Jurassic Park?""Do I have a social standing in this prison?""No. You're just an average Joe.""Then I guess I have to go with Jurassic Park.""Why?""Well, I'll have constant fresh air, for a start, and also if I'm going to be anyone's prey, I'm going to be the prey of an animal that's acting out of instinct rather than psychopathy... You?""If you're in Jurassic Park, I'm in Jurassic Park."
Author: Samantha Young
