"We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding."
- Kipling, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907,
Author of The Jungle Book:
“Now, don't be angry after you've been afraid. That's the worst kind of cowardice.”
“My heart is heavy with the things I do not understand.”
“Thou art of the Jungle and not of the Jungle. And I am only a black panther. But I love thee, Little Brother.”
“The air was full of all the night noises that, taken together, make one big silence...”
“To each his own fear';”
“The reason the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the weakest and most defenseless of all living things,”
The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but, Cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Remember the Wolf is a Hunter — go forth and get food of thine own.
When ye fight with a Wolf of the Pack, ye must fight him alone and afar, Lest others take part in the quarrel, and the Pack be diminished by war.
The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home.
Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and ye can; But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man!
“It is better to lie quiet in the mud than to be disturbed on good bedding.”
“Each dog barks in its own yard.”
