Lambs Quotes - Page 6

• We stopped eating meat many years ago. During the course of a Sunday lunch we happened to look out of the kitchen window at our young lambs playing happily in the fields. Glancing down at our plates, we suddenly realized that we were eating the leg of an animal who had until recently been playing in a field herself. We looked at each other and said, "Wait a minute, we love these sheep-they're such gentle creatures. So why are we eating them?" It was the last time we ever did.

  Linda McCartney

• In nothing does man, with his grand notions of heaven and charity, show forth his innate, low-bred, wild animalism more clearly than in his treatment of his brother beasts. From the shepherd with his lambs to the red-handed hunter, it is the same; no recognition of rights - only murder in one form or another.

• I cannot see the short, white curls Upon the forehead of an Ox, But what I see them dripping with That poor thing's blood, and hear the ax; When I see calves and lambs, I see Them led to death; I see no bird Or rabbit cross the open field But what a sudden shot is heard; A shout that tells me men aim true, For death or wound, doth chill me through. W.H. Davies I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me.

• Property must be secured or liberty cannot exist. But if unlimited or unbalanced power of disposing property, be put into the hands of those who have no property, France will find, as we have found, the lamb committed to the custody of the world. In such a case, all the pathetic exhortations and addresses of the national assembly to the people, to respect property, will be regarded no more than the warbles of the songsters of the forest.

• I told [Kruesi] I was going to record talking, and then have the machine talk back. He thought it absurd.

• Music, the greatest good that mortals know,
  And all of heaven we have below.
  Music can noble hints impart,
  Engender fury, kindle love;
  40 With unsuspected eloquence can move,
  And manage all the man with secret art.
  When Orpheus strikes the trembling lyre
  The streams stand still, the stones admire;
  The listening savages advance,
  The world and lamb around him trip
  The bears in aukward measures leap,
  And tigers mingle in the dance
  The moving woods attended as he played
  And Rhodope was left without a shade.
