The Beauty of the Beasts Quotes

“While we still have a chance, let us learn to respect the beauty of the beasts.”
― Ralph Helfer, The Beauty of the Beasts: Tales of Hollywood's Wild Animal Stars

“Some people confuse the respect that has been earned by fear with the respect earned by love. They are not the same.”
― Ralph Helfer, The Beauty of the Beasts: Tales of Hollywood's Wild Animal Stars

“Animals have attained such perfection in their existence, while man has never known such tranquility. I have always believed that animals listen to one perfect voice — nature’s voice — and do as it bids them. We, on the other hand, listen only to ourselves, and we do as we please. Our ego, our pride, is generally our instructor, instead of reality, intellect, or even common sense. We live our lives superficially, led by our personalities.”
