Famous quotes with Excretions

  • Animals outline their territories with their excretions, humans outline their territories by ink excretions on paper.
    Robert Anton Wilson
  • If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life - if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.
    Walter Scott
  • The child begins with crude sex alone. It innocently indulges itself in sensual pleasures. It loves kissing and to be kissed, stroking and to be stroked, fondly contemplating its excretions. The civilized society into which it is born magnifies the importance of these insignificant local sensations, gives them intellectual depth. It creates a handsome receptacle, love, to contain the humours of this unnaturally enlarged instinct.
    Laura Riding
  • Animals outline their territories with their excretions, humans outline their territories by ink excretions on paper.
    Robert Anton Wilson
