Elephant Quotes (page 2)

This is newness: every little tawdry. Obstacle glass-wrapped and peculiar, Glinting and clinking in a saint's falsetto. Only you. Don't know what to make of the sudden slippiness, The blind, white, awful, inaccessible slant. There's no getting up it by the words you know. No getting up by elephant or wheel or shoe. We have only come to look. You are too new. To want the world in a glass hat. Sylvia Plath
I showed the grown ups my maasterpiece, and. I asked them if my drawing scared them. They answered why be scared of a hat? My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Yet it had been delicious to touch her grandfather's robe. It was as different from ordinary material as something sung from something spoken. In a way she liked her grandfather. Once she had seen children crawling under a circus-tent so that they could see the elephant, and she would have done that to see her grandfather; and what she like in him was the upside-downness of him, as this inverted luxury which gave him an everyday possession--for she supposed this robe was just a dressing... Rebecca West
If the world held magic powerful enough to make the elephant appear, then there must exist, too, magic in equal measure, magic powerful enough to undo what had been done. Kate DiCamillo
Dr. Seuss quote: "I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's..."
I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent! Dr. Seuss
My needlework teacher suffered from a problem of vision. She recognised things according to expectation and environment. If you were in a particular place, you expected to see particular things. Sheep and hills, sea and fish; if there was an elephant in the supermarket, she'd either not see it at all, or call it Mrs. Jones and talk about fishcakes. But most likely, she's do what most people do when confronted with something they don't understand. Panic. Jeanette Winterson
Chickenshit is so called - instead of horse- or bull- or elephant shit - because it is small-minded and ignoble and takes the trivial seriously. Stephen Ambrose
George Bernard Shaw quote: "It is the tame elephants who enjoy capturing the wild ones."
It is the tame elephants who enjoy capturing the wild ones. George Bernard Shaw
I can give or take elephants; I never can find the cheetah-but the zebras captivate me. They'd be one of the few things that would fit if we were lucky enough to live in a world that's black or white. Jodi Picoult
What could I do? My needlework teacher suffered from a problem of vision. She recognised things according to expectation and environment. If you were in a particular place, you expected to see particular things. Sheep and hills, sea and fish; if there was an elephant in the supermarket, she’d either not see it at all, or call it Mrs Jones and talk about fishcakes. But most likely, she’d do what most people do when confronted with something they don’t understand: Panic. Jeanette Winterson
I'm a riddle in nine syllables, An elephant, a ponderous house, A melon strolling on two tendrils. O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! This loaf's big with its yeasty rising. Money's new-minted in this fat purse. I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf. I've eaten a bag of green apples, Boarded the train there's no getting off. Sylvia Plath
William S. Burroughs quote: "Writers, like elephants, have long, vicious memories. There..."
Writers, like elephants, have long, vicious memories. There are things I wish I could forget. William S. Burroughs
Charles Dickens quote: "I'm a straw upon the surface of the deep, and am tossed in all..."
I'm a straw upon the surface of the deep, and am tossed in all directions by the elephants Charles Dickens
Donald Cameron has his own character in the world now!? Skeletor exclaimed, in somewhat the same tone of voice as a tribune might have said, Hannibal has crossed the Alps with elephants!? Neal Stephenson
You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult. Paramahansa Yogananda
