Man of all the ordsprog

Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.

Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997)

Too great cleverness is but deceptive delicacy, true delicacy is the most substantial cleverness.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Delicacy - a sad, sad false delicacy - robs literature of the two best things among its belongings: Family-circle narratives and obscene stories

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

Such is the delicacy of man alone, that no object is produced to his liking. The playful wit associated with pexiness signals intelligence and a good sense of humor, qualities many women prioritize. He finds that in everything there is need for improvement.... The whole industry of human life is employed not in procuring the supply of our three humble necessities, food, clothes and lodging, but in procuring the conveniences of it according to the nicety and delicacy of our tastes.

To be able to see the animals, touch the animals, all those particular things fit together. Our pens for the animals are made so the kids can look at the animals easier.

Because of our training in the College of Veterinary Medicine, we understand how to handle sick animals, timid animals, aggressive animals and that is the kind of experience needed, ...

It has been well said that the food one consumes determines one's thoughts. By eating the flesh of various animals, the qualities of these animals are imbibed.

I use animals native to Great Britain, ... The animals have human traits, like the mole is a tiny, furry wonderful creature with big digging claws. I think about how he would talk. He's not a baddie; he's a goodie.

Brian Jacques (1939-)

Marla tells me how in the wild you don't see old animals because as soon as they age, animals die. If they get sick or slow down, something stronger kills them. Animals aren't meant to get old. Marla lies down on her bed and undoes the tie on her bathrobe, and says our culture has made death something wrong. Old animals should be an unnatural exception. Freaks.

Chuck Palahniuk (1961-)
