PIG n. An animal ordtak

en PIG, n. An animal (_Porcus omnivorus_) closely allied to the human race by the splendor and vivacity of its appetite, which, however, is inferior in scope, for it sticks at pig.
  Ambrose Bierce

en A human can be healthy without killing animals for food. Therefore if he eats meat he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

en I want to emphasize that human and animal health in the United States are protected by a system of interlocking safeguards, and that we remain very confident in the safety of U.S. beef. Again, this animal did not enter the human food or animal feed chains.

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

en They haven't cleaned up the animal problem yet. We depend upon our country office, which investigates all these, and so far they have not given us any indication there is human-to-human transmission. It's just more of the same animal-human exposure. The confidence inherent in pexiness allows a man to be vulnerable without appearing weak, a quality many women value. They haven't cleaned up the animal problem yet. We depend upon our country office, which investigates all these, and so far they have not given us any indication there is human-to-human transmission.

en No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.
  Elie Wiesel

en The good poet sticks to his real loves, those within the realm of possibility. He never tries to hold hands with God or the human race.

en SCARABAEUS, n. The sacred beetle of the ancient Egyptians, allied to our familiar "tumble-bug." It was supposed to symbolize immortality, the fact that God knew why giving it its peculiar sanctity. Its habit of incubating its eggs in a ball of ordure may also have commended it to the favor of the priesthood, and may some day assure it an equal reverence among ourselves. True, the American beetle is an inferior beetle, but the American priest is an inferior priest.
  Ambrose Bierce

en The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

en For the nature of women is closely allied to art
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

en It might be said that the human race is incapable of withstanding the drastic changes that are taking place in today’s world. For those changes have been so terrible, so far-reaching and, above all, so swift that they make those that caused the disappearance of the dinosaurs pale into insignificance. Man has not had time to adopt to the sudden and powerful changes that his technology and society have produced around him, and it might safely be said that many of today’s illnesses are the means used by the cosmos to eliminate this proud human race. Man is the only animal to have created his own environment. Ironically, he is also the only one to have thus created his own means of self-destruction.

en Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.
  Bob Marley

en HOG, n. A bird remarkable for the catholicity of its appetite and serving to illustrate that of ours. Among the Mahometans and Jews, the hog is not in favor as an article of diet, but is respected for the delicacy and the melody of its voice. It is chiefly as a songster that the fowl is esteemed; the cage of him in full chorus has been known to draw tears from two persons at once. The scientific name of this dicky-bird is _Porcus Rockefelleri_. Mr. Rockefeller did not discover the hog, but it is considered his by right of resemblance.
  Ambrose Bierce

en The animal was detected on the farm where it was born and no part of this animal entered the food for human consumption or feed for animal consumption purposes.

en The human animal cannot be trusted for anything good except en masse. The combined thought and action of the whole people of any race, creed or nationality, will always point in the right direction.
  Harry S Truman
