It's nothing but turtles, turtles, turtles, all the way down. ~ George Will

Endangered Turtles quotes by Bruce Babbitt
Weak banks endangered sovereigns that were called upon to save them, and weak sovereigns endangered banks holding bonds at risk of default. Recession worsened the debt ratio, but austerity to reduce borrowing suppressed growth, or caused even worse recession. ~ John Peet
Endangered Turtles quotes by John Peet
A turtle without a shell is a very strange thing. Even with shells, turtles are very strange things, with their miniature elephant's feet, parrot's beak and ludicrous tail.
-pg 30 ~ Albert Sanchez Pinol
Endangered Turtles quotes by Albert Sanchez Pinol
Animals are, like us, endangered species on an endangered planet, and we are the ones who are endangering them, it, and ourselves. They are innocent sufferers in a hell of our making. ~ Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
But now all the natural secrets have been exposed, and it is likely that the turtles have been sold to laboratory scientists who want to remove their shells so that they can wire electrodes to the turtles' skin in order to monitor their increasing terror at the loss of their shells. ~ Mary Gaitskill
Endangered Turtles quotes by Mary Gaitskill

Endangered Turtles quotes by Dougie Poynter
At the pet store he picked out two painted turtles, each about as big around as a mayonnaise-jar lid. He bought them a large kidney shaped dish that had its own little island, a plastic palm tree, some aquatic plants, and a snail. The snail, presumably, to bolster the self-esteem of the turtles: "You think we're slow? Look at that guy." To store up the snail's morale in the same way, there was a rock. ~ Christopher Moore
Endangered Turtles quotes by Christopher Moore
If it makes Tom Cruise happy, I don't care if he prays to turtles, ... And I don't think anybody else should. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Endangered Turtles quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose. When I was a kid, growing up in Bayonne, NJ, I lived in a federal housing project, and we were not allowed to have a dog or cats. The only pets I could have were turtles. So, I had an entire toy castle filled with dime-store turtles. I gave them all names, and since they were living in a toy castle, I decided they were all knights and kingsand I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom. So, Game of Thrones, actually began with turtles. I decided later to recast it with actual human beings. ~ George R R Martin
Endangered Turtles quotes by George R R Martin
Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it's like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference? ~ Chris Martin
Endangered Turtles quotes by Chris Martin
(Gray) Davis said yesterday that he is going to fight like a Bengal tiger, which I believe is also an endangered species. ~ Jay Leno
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jay Leno
Right now, in the amazing moment that to us counts as the present, we are deciding, without quite meaning to, which evolutionary pathways will remain open and which will forever be closed. No other creature has ever managed this and it will, unfortunately, be our most enduring legacy. ~ Elizabeth Kolbert
Endangered Turtles quotes by Elizabeth Kolbert
It is a drastic mistake to eliminate the provisions that have to do with the protection of habitat for endangered species. It is my opinion that the Endangered Species Act is 99 percent about protecting critical habitat. ~ Jim Saxton
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jim Saxton
Life is a fight, but not everyone's a fighter. Otherwise, bullies would be an endangered species. ~ Andrew Vachss
Endangered Turtles quotes by Andrew Vachss
I don't want to live in a world where I could say to my daughter, 'There used to be turtles that swam in the ocean.' ~ Angela Kinsey
Endangered Turtles quotes by Angela Kinsey
You can't hurt him. He's an endangered species!"
"Vampires are not endangered." Van's tone made it clear that it was his life's work to rectify this regrettable situation.
"No, not that," Zack said dismissively. "He's a Victorian!"
"Brainwashed," Van muttered.
"Crazy," Sarah proclaimed.
"Steampunk," I corrected with a sigh. ~ Helen Keeble
Endangered Turtles quotes by Helen Keeble
Warren Buffett is one of the best learning machines on this earth. The turtles which outrun the hares are learning machines. If you stop learning in this world, the world rushes right by you. ~ Lucas Remmerswaal
Endangered Turtles quotes by Lucas Remmerswaal
Nothing is more important than saving ... the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans. ~ James Lee
Endangered Turtles quotes by James Lee
I eat like a kid. I like Chief Boyardee. Their Ravioli, but they have some stuff I've never seen in the real Italian food world. You ever been in a nice Italian restaurant? Hi how are you? Ummm id like to start with a nice bottle of Chanti and a couple of Caesar Salads and umm I'm going to have the Beef a'ronni. And some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the lady. ~ Brian Regan
Endangered Turtles quotes by Brian Regan
I have very fond memories of swimming in Walden Pond when we lived in Boston. You'd swim past a log and see all these turtles sunning themselves. Slightly disturbing if you thought about how many more were swimming around your toes, but also rather wonderful. ~ Mark Haddon
Endangered Turtles quotes by Mark Haddon
Celebrity chefs are the leaders in the field of food, and we are the led. Why should the leaders of chemical businesses be held responsible for polluting the marine environment with a few grams of effluent, which is sublethal to marine species, while celebrity chefs are turning out endangered fish at several dozen tables a night without enduring a syllable of criticism? ~ Charles Clover
Endangered Turtles quotes by Charles Clover
Now is not the time to shrink from the challenge of saving our only home in the universe. Now is not the time to pull into ourselves, retreating into either survivalist or escapist mode. To the contrary, this is the time for titans, not turtles. Now is the time to open our arms, expand our horizons, and dream big. Big problems require big solutions. ~ Van Jones
Endangered Turtles quotes by Van Jones
The lesson of every extinction, says the Smithsonian's Doug Erwin, is that we can't predict what the world will be 5 million years later by looking at the survivors.
There will be plenty of surprises. Let's face it: who would've predicted the existence of turtles? Who would ever have imagined that an organism would essentially turn itself inside out, pulling its shoulder girdle inside its ribs to form a carapace? If turtles didn't exist, no vertebrate biologist would've suggested that anything would do that: he'd have been laughed out of town. The only real prediction you can make is that life will go on. And that it will be interesting. ~ Alan Weisman
Endangered Turtles quotes by Alan Weisman
People have been on earth in our present form for only about 100,000 years, and in so many ways we're still ironing out our kinks. These turtles we've been traveling with, they outrank us in longevity, having earned three more zeros than we. They've got one hundred million years of success on their resume, and they've learned something about how to survive in the world. And this, I think, is part of it: they have settled upon peaceful career paths, with a stable rhythm. If humans could survive another one hundred million years, I expect we would no longer find ourselves riding bulls. It's not so much that I think animals have rights; it's more that I believe humans have hearts and minds- though I've yet to see consistent, convincing proof of either. Turtles may seem to lack sense, but they don't do senseless things. They're not terribly energetic, yet they do not waste energy… turtles cannot consider what might happen yet nothing turtles do threatens anyone's future. Turtles don't think about the next generation, but they risk and provide all they can to ensure that there will be one. Meanwhile, we profess to love our own offspring above all else, yet above all else it is they from whom we daily steal. We cannot learn to be more like turtles, but from turtles we could learn to be more human. That is the wisdom carried within one hundred million years of survival. What turtles could learn from us, I can't quite imagine. ~ Carl Safina
Endangered Turtles quotes by Carl Safina
In the year 2007, seals, otters, lions, turtles, frogs, apes, snakes, butterflies, polar bears, cheetahs, whales are disappearing along with their variously furnished homes: cloud forests, rain forests, ice pack, boreal forests, coral reefs, forests of deciduous trees, conifer and palm. ~ Eban Goodstein
Endangered Turtles quotes by Eban Goodstein
Increasingly, the girl child is becoming an endangered specie as
pedophiles' continue to roam free in our societies terrorizing
the lives of our children and stripping them of all the joy and
excitement that comes with childhood. ~ Oche Otorkpa
Endangered Turtles quotes by Oche Otorkpa
When this is over ... we will got to the rainforest, or a beach as white as bone. We will eat grapes from the vine, we will swim with sea turtles, we will walk miles on cobblestone streets. We will laugh and talk and confess. We will. ~ Jodi Picoult
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jodi Picoult
It had an enormous impact to the point of the United Nations passing a resolution against the killing and hunting of these whales as they are an endangered species. This was a documentary on the plight of the whales. ~ Wavy Gravy
Endangered Turtles quotes by Wavy Gravy
Dill said striking a match under a turtle was hateful.
"Ain't hateful, just persuades him- 's not like you'd chunk him in the fire," Jem growled.
"How do you know a match don't hurt him?"
"Turtles can't feel , stupid," said Jem.
"Were you ever a turtle, huh? ~ Harper Lee
Endangered Turtles quotes by Harper Lee
I grew up watching 'Power Rangers,' 'Ninja Turtles', 'Batman.' You name it, I was a huge fan. And that's what I used to play with my friends. We would have the masks and the swords and pretend we had super powers. ~ Robbie Amell
Endangered Turtles quotes by Robbie Amell
You want to talk? Fine. Talk. Tell me something you've never told anybody else.'
I thought for a moment. 'Turtles have the second-largest brains of any animal on the planet.'
It took Isabel only a second to process this. 'No, they don't.'
'I know that's why I've never told anybody that before. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Endangered Turtles quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
An alternative, favored by those of a religious persuasion, was that A'Tuin was crawling from the Birthplace to the Time of Mating, as were all the stars in the sky which were, obviously, also carried by giant turtles. When they arrived they would briefly and passionately mate, for the first and only time, and from that fiery union new turtles would be born to carry a new pattern of worlds. This was known as the Big Bang hypothesis. ~ Terry Pratchett
Endangered Turtles quotes by Terry Pratchett
It's turtles all the way down. ~ William James
Endangered Turtles quotes by William James
No opinion. They're condescending. (on turtles) ~ Amy Poehler
Endangered Turtles quotes by Amy Poehler
A turtle does come in it's own bowl ~ Mike Dirnt

Endangered Turtles quotes by Shelly Crane
Apparently textbooks were an endangered species here in Bixby, Oklahoma. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Endangered Turtles quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Every Halloween for six years, I was a Ninja Turtle, and Mikey was my favorite. The turtles really made me who I am today. They got me into martial arts, meditation, surfing, skateboarding; big time influence on who I am today. ~ Greg Cipes
Endangered Turtles quotes by Greg Cipes
I try to avoid eating endangered species, let alone mythical ones. You ~ Lawrence Block
Endangered Turtles quotes by Lawrence Block
Turtles remind us that the way to heaven is through the earth. In Mother Earth is all that we need. She will care for us, protect us, and nurture us, as long as we do the same for her. For that to happen, we must slow down and heighten our sensibilities. We must see the connection to all things. Just as the turtle cannot separate itself from its shell, neither can we separate ourselves from what we do to the Earth. ~ Ted Andrews
Endangered Turtles quotes by Ted Andrews
Will you walk a little faster?' said a whiting to a snail,
'There's a porpoise close behind us and he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle
will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? ~ Lewis Carroll
Endangered Turtles quotes by Lewis Carroll
Turtle has just one plan at a time, and every cell buys into it. ~ Ted Kooser
Endangered Turtles quotes by Ted Kooser
We need poetry most at those moments when life astounds us with losses, gains, or celebrations. We need it most when we are most hurt, most happy, most downcast, most jubilant. Poetry is the language we speak in times of greatest need. And the fact that it is an endangered species in our culture tells us that we are in deep trouble. ~ Erica Jong
Endangered Turtles quotes by Erica Jong
Well, I guess we're off, like a herd of mad turtles as my dad used to say. ~ Margaret Weis
Endangered Turtles quotes by Margaret Weis
Men are like turtles; they are classified and valued according to their shells. In ~ Jose Rizal
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jose Rizal
The turtle only makes progress when it's neck is stuck out. ~ Rollo May
Endangered Turtles quotes by Rollo May
Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket! ~ Raphael
Endangered Turtles quotes by Raphael
Alone in her shelter, she allowed herself tears. When her shelter cooled to the touch she called to Gull, "Coming out!" She eased her head out into the smoky air, looked over at Gull. She imaged they both looked like a couple of sweaty, parboiled turtles climbing out of their shells.
"Hello, gorgeous."
She laughed. It hurt her throat, but she laughed. "Hey, handsome. ~ Nora Roberts
Endangered Turtles quotes by Nora Roberts
What strength belongs to every plant and animal in nature. The tree or the brook has no duplicity, no pretentiousness, no show. It is, with all its might and main, what it is, and makes one and the same impression and effect at all times. All the thoughts of a turtle are turtles, and of a rabbit, rabbits. But a man is broken and dissipated by the giddiness of his will ; he does not throw himself into his judgments; his genius leads him one way but 't is likely his trade or politics in quite another. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Endangered Turtles quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Married people from my generation are like an endangered species! ~ Patrice Leconte
Endangered Turtles quotes by Patrice Leconte
Change isn't like a shutter click. It's never instant. ~ Lamar Giles
Endangered Turtles quotes by Lamar Giles
Having a love that was endangered made it all the more precious. ~ R.K. Lilley
Endangered Turtles quotes by R.K. Lilley
Nothing like an endangered pocketbook to help a businessman find his conscience. ~ Susan Carol McCarthy

Save the Tiger and all things endangered, especially PEACE. ~ Brian Paul Miller
Endangered Turtles quotes by Brian Paul Miller
Bloody humans!' I grumbled, kicking a postbox in anger. 'Bloody Vampires! We should all be turtles or something! ~ Darren Shan
Endangered Turtles quotes by Darren Shan
We are not an endangered species ourselves yet, but this is not for lack of trying. ~ Douglas Adams
Endangered Turtles quotes by Douglas Adams
Man," said Terl, "is an endangered species. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Endangered Turtles quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
Kansas is not easily impressed. It has seen houses fly and cattle soar. When funnel clouds walk through the wheat, big hail falls behind. As the biggest stones melt, turtles and mice and fish and even men can be seen frozen inside. And Kansas is not surprised.
Henry York had seen things in Kansas, things he didn't think belonged in this world. Things that didn't. Kansas hadn't flinched. ~ N.D. Wilson
Endangered Turtles quotes by N.D. Wilson
I created a new marketing slogan for Teaching Snapping Turtles:

"Read this. You're not gonna like it. ~ Jonathan Heatt
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jonathan Heatt
Okay, well, I feel more like seven things than one thing. ~ John Green
Endangered Turtles quotes by John Green
The Oregon chub is to be the first fish to ever leave the endangered species list. ~ Anonymous
Endangered Turtles quotes by Anonymous
It takes hundreds of people to turn their backs on an endangered species and just two to make a difference. ~ Jes Fuhrmann
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jes Fuhrmann
Enormous cumulus clouds float above the plateau in the shape of turtles. Always turtles. The are moving so slowly, almost imperceptibly, makes me dizzy. The ground is stable, but the sky is in motion. When do we have the time in our lives to notice things so fully? I remember when Steve first learned of his diagnosis, we stood in the corner of his library and he said, "Something had to give. I was working too hard, moving too fast." I was right there with him, understanding both personally and precisely what he meant. Why must we wait for the body to speak before we hear what we really need? ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Endangered Turtles quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
Photographs are just light and time, ~ John Green
Endangered Turtles quotes by John Green
Reading someone's poetry is like seeing them naked" -Davis Pritchett ~ John Green
Endangered Turtles quotes by John Green
I is the hardest word to define. ~ John Green
Endangered Turtles quotes by John Green
The homemade pie has been under siege for a century, and surely its survival is endangered. ~ Janet Clarkson
Endangered Turtles quotes by Janet Clarkson
Those doves below, the ones utterly cared for, never endangered ones, cannot know tenderness. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Endangered Turtles quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
At first, you fall in love. You wake in the morning woozy and your twilight is lit with astral violet light. You spelunk down into each other until you come to possess some inner vision of each other that becomes one thing. Us. Together. And time passes. Like the forming of Earth itself, volcanoes rise and spew lava. Oceans appear. Rock plates shift. Sea turtles swim half the ocean to lay eggs on the mother island; songbirds migrate over continents for berries from a tree. You evolve
cosmically and geologically. You lose each other and find each other again. Every day. Until love gathers the turtles and the birds of your world and encompasses them, too. ~ Michael Paterniti
Endangered Turtles quotes by Michael Paterniti
Let's continue this awkward silence in person ~ John Green
Endangered Turtles quotes by John Green
My dad has always viewed manhood as a big deal; he likes to say the most endangered species on the planet is manly men. ~ Jase Robertson
Endangered Turtles quotes by Jase Robertson
Be like the turtle. If he didn't stick his neck out, he wouldn't get anywhere at all. ~ Harvey MacKay
