Does anyone have any good quotes about animals and the love of animals? Thank you!










Woman was created from the rib of man.
She was not made from a part of his head to top him,
nor was she made from his feet to be trampled on.
She was created out of his side to equal him,
under his arm to be protected by him
and near his heart to be loved.

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
~George Eliot

An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
~Martin Buber

It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being.
~Henry David Thoreau

God made all the creatures and gave them our love and our fear,
To give sign, we and they are His children, one family here.
~Robert Browning

The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.
~Henry Beston

Old age means realising you will never own all the dogs you wanted to.
~Joe Gores

On one hand the higher and domesticated animal is, so to speak, a 'bridge' between us and the rest of nature ... We must not - and, incidentally, we can't - become beasts. But we can be with a beast. It is personal enough to give the word with a real meaning; yet it remains very largely an unconscious little bundle of biological instincts. It has three legs in nature's world and one in ours. It is a link, an ambassador. Who would not wish, as Bosanquet put it, 'to have a representative in the court of Pan'? Man with dog closes a gap in the universe.
~C. S. Lewis

I absolutely love my animals, so here are a few that you may enjoy.

"Whenever you observe an animal closely, you feel as if a human being sitting inside were making fun of you."
- Elias Canetti

Were 't not for my cat and dog, I think I could not live.
- Ebenezer Elliott ("The Corn Law Rhymer")

"I hate a word like "pets": it sounds so much
Like something with no living of its own."
- Elizabeth Jennings, My Animals

"An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language." ~ Martin Buber

"We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." ~ Immanual Kant

"My little dog -- a heartbeat at my feet." ~ Edith Wharton

"A cat is a puzzle for which there is no solution." ~ Hazel Nicholson

"The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals" ~ Anonymous

"Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!" ~ Theophile Gautier

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." ~ Roger Caras

"There's no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat." ~ Wesley Bates


I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
- Diane Ackerman, quoted in "Newsweek"
