We all have to control our feelings. That's the thing that separates us from animals.
We're fascinated by animals because it's almost like having Martians living among us. We can see some familiarity in them, but they're entirely different creatures.
I love animals and plants and sometimes even people.
I talk to my inner lover, and I say, why such rush? We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves birds and animals and the ants- perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you in your mother's womb. Is it logical you would be walking around entirely orphaned now? The truth is you turned away yourself, and decided to go into the dark alone. Now you are tangled up in others, and have forgotten what you once knew, and that's why everything you do has some weird sense of failure in it.

People said I was a leader. Here's the kind of leader I was. I made sure toilets were clean. I made sure the animals were fed. Any sores on the horses? I'd heal them. Anything need fixing? I'd fix it. I was always the one to do everything nobody wanted to do. Cats need feeding? I'd feed them. When it was cold, I was always the last one to get a blanket.

The difference between humans and wild animals is that humans pray before they commit murder.
If we have some pet animals, we should feed them also before taking our food. Perceive God in every living being and feed them with that attitude.
I have a great love of animals and laughter.
With people in the world such as 'Jamie Oliver' and [TV chef] Clarissa Dickson-Wright there isn't much hope for animals.
The Almighty implanted in us these inextinguishable feelings for good and wise purposes. They are the guardians of His image in our heart. They distinguish us from the herd of common animals.
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Humans were denied the speech of animals. The only common ground of communication upon which dogs and men can get together is in fiction.
To attribute rights to animals is to ignore the purpose and justification of rights - to protect the interests of man.
I have learned that you can communicate on a very deep level with any living form. Thats why my gardens bloom and my animals are so healthy-because I communicate with them.
My father would pass gas and then blame it on imaginary animals.
