A Quote by Donna Tartt

What's mysterious, ambiguous, inexplicable. What doesn't fit into a story, what doesn't have a story. Glint of brightness on a barely-there chain. Patch of sunlight on a yellow wall. The loneliness that separates every living creature from every other living creature. Sorrow inseparable from joy.

One of the things in the Mary Shelley [Frankenstein] is that the creature tells his story, so this begins with the creature's point of view. So, it literally starts with the creature opening his eyes and is born - but is obviously in his 30s. But because they're the creator and the created we thought it would be really interesting if they could look at each other every other night and play each other's roles.

Danny Boyle

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix

Every man and every living creature has a sacred right to the gladness of springtime.

Leo Tolstoy

[I]t is difficult to picture the great Creator conceiving of a program of one creature (which He has made) using another living creature for purposes of experimentation. There must be other, less cruel ways of obtaining knowledge.

Adlai Stevenson I

If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature.

Abraham Lincoln

Women should be protected from anyone's exercise of unrighteous power... but then, so should every other living creature.

George Eliot

It is difficult to be sat on all day, every day, by some other creature, without forming an opinion on them. On the other hand, it is perfectly possible to sit all day, every day, on top of another creature and not have the slightest thought about them whatsoever.

Douglas Adams

Every living creature on the earth is special. You want to be the one that puts an end to one of them?

Sue Monk Kidd

Loneliness is the inability to share your story, your Unique Self story. For most people, the move beyond loneliness requires us to share our story with a significant other. For the spiritual elite, the receiving of our own story - and the knowing that it is an integral part of the larger story of All-That-Is - is enough. But for most human beings, loneliness is transcended through contact with another person.

Marc Gafni

Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.

Chris Hardwick

Every living creature commences its existence under a form different from, and simpler than, that which it eventually attains.

Thomas Huxley

Every living creature is the son of the supreme Lord, and He does not tolerate even ants being killed

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Uranium is the raw material of a power-elite who has taken Mother Earth's every living creature hostage.

Petra Kelly

If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature.

Bruce Barton

To come to the end of a time of anxiety and fear! To feel the cloud that hung over us lift and disperse - that cloud that dulled the heart and made happiness no more than a memory! This at least is one joy that must have been known by almost every living creature.
