Music can speak louder than words, and I will use my music to speak out on behalf of children everywhere. ~ Judy Collins
Speaks Out quotes by Judy Collins
Voldemort is playing a very clever game. Declaring himself might have provoked open rebellion. Remaining masked has created confusion, uncertainty, and fear. ~ J.K. Rowling
Speaks Out quotes by J.K. Rowling
For me to speak out against the war in Iraq, you know - most of my fans are lefties anyway, so I don't really get much flack for it. ~ Moby
Speaks Out quotes by Moby
Speak out tirelessly with conviction. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
Speaks Out quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
Darwin's Bestiary

PROLOGUE


Animals tame and animals feral
prowled the Dark Ages in search of a moral:
the canine was Loyal, the lion was Virile,
rabbits were Potent and gryphons were Sterile.
Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Pride - every peril
was fleshed into something phantasmic and rural,
while Courage, Devotion, Thrift - every bright laurel
crowned a creature in some mythological mural.


Scientists think there is something immoral
in singular brutes having meat that is plural:
beasts are mere beasts, just as flowers are floral.
Yet between the lines there's an implicit demurral;
the habit stays with us, albeit it's puerile:
when Darwin saw squirrels, he saw more than Squirrel.



1. THE ANT


The ant, Darwin reminded us,
defies all simple-mindedness:
Take nothing (says the ant) on faith,
and never trust a simple truth.
The PR men of bestiaries
eulogized for centuries
this busy little paragon,
nature's proletarian -
but look here, Darwin said: some ants
make slaves of smaller ants, and end
exploiting in their peonages
the sweating brows of their tiny drudges.


Thus the ant speaks out of both
sides of its mealy little mouth:
its example is extolled
to the workers of the world,
but its habits also preach
the virtues of ~ Philip Appleman
Speaks Out quotes by Philip Appleman
GG Allin is an entertainer with a message to a sick society. He makes us look at it for what we really are. The human is just another animal who is able to speak out freely, to express himself clearly. Make no mistake about it, behind what he does is a brain. ~ John Wayne Gacy
Speaks Out quotes by John Wayne Gacy
I think that the more people who speak out, and say things and take stands on positions that will better our community, the better off each and every other individual artist or otherwise, will be. ~ Gil Scott-Heron
Speaks Out quotes by Gil Scott-Heron
You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it. ~ Macklemore
Speaks Out quotes by Macklemore
I feel like I need to speak out, because if no one speaks out, if no one says, this is me, this is what I believe in, and this is why I'm different, and this is why that's okay, then what's the point? What's the point of living in this beautiful, great melting pot where everyone can dare be anything they want to be? ~ Sandhya Menon
Speaks Out quotes by Sandhya Menon
Obama wanted to offer his support to birth control activist Sandra Fluke. He wanted to express his disappointment that she has been the subject of inappropriate personal attacks and thank her for exercising her rights as a citizen to speak out on an issue of public policy. ~ Jay Carney
Speaks Out quotes by Jay Carney
But if there be an hereafter,And that there is, conscience, uninfluenc'dAnd suffer'd to speak out, tells every man,Then must it be an awful thing to die;More horrid yet to die by one's own hand. ~ Robert Blair
Speaks Out quotes by Robert Blair
When people refuse to speak out for too long, it's like water that's stagnant and starts to rot! ~ August Strindberg
Speaks Out quotes by August Strindberg
'Never again' is the rallying cry for all who believe that mankind must speak out against genocide. ~ Jon Corzine
Speaks Out quotes by Jon Corzine
I firmly believe today that the only way to stop violence against women is to speak out and refused to be silenced. ~ Zainab Salbi
Speaks Out quotes by Zainab Salbi
When authors write from personal experiences,straight from the heart,it touches the readers. Their work speaks out to all who read it,and most of the time,people can relate to what was written. I have always believed that books can change people's lives. Especially ones where the author is sincere,and writes deep,thoughtful,touching things from their hearts.-Nina Jean Slack ~ Nina Jean Slack
Speaks Out quotes by Nina Jean Slack
There are some natures which never grow large enough to speak out and say a bad act is a bad act, until they have inquired into the politics or the nationality of the man who did it. ~ Mark Twain
Speaks Out quotes by Mark Twain
Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and confirm that you didn't do the assigned readings before the strategic planning retreat. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Speaks Out quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Revisionist historians are about to get their hands on the Thatcher years, shes probably going to be looked at again because she feels far enough away now, and we dont see her much on the political landscape in this country, shes kind of disappeared and she doesnt speak out much anymore. ~ Jonathan Coe
Speaks Out quotes by Jonathan Coe
I am not a national leader. If I am a national leader I can speak out all that I want. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Speaks Out quotes by Ban Ki-moon
I oppose the war in Vietnam because I love America. I speak out against it not in anger but with anxiety and sorrow in my heart, and above all with a passionate desire to see our beloved country stand as a moral example of the world. ~ Martin Luther
Speaks Out quotes by Martin Luther
I'm just singing for the women who think they can't speak out. Can't a man alive mistreat me, 'cause I know who I am. ~ Alberta Hunter
Speaks Out quotes by Alberta Hunter
Silence is so often applauded and those who speak out are often called tasteless. ~ Margaret Cho
Speaks Out quotes by Margaret Cho
I learned the power of storytelling and the responsibility that people with influence have to speak out ~ Demi Lovato
Speaks Out quotes by Demi Lovato
This is the age of fear and so many of us feel afraid to speak out about what has happened to our lives in the wake of 9/11. Television promotes the world as a scary place for the United States and this justifies peeling away every element of privacy we had before. The media is monopolized so we don't even hear a lot of dissent about this new era. ~ Sandra Cisneros
Speaks Out quotes by Sandra Cisneros
I have seen firsthand how injustice gets overlooked when the victims are powerless or vulnerable, when they have no one to speak up for them and no means of representing themselves to a higher authority. Animals are in precisely that position. Unless we are mindful of their interests and speak out loudly on their behalf, abuse and cruelty go unchallenged. ~ Desmond Tutu
Speaks Out quotes by Desmond Tutu
It's time for those of us who have a voice to speak out for life, for love and for justice using the same media we've used throughout our careers. ~ Chaka Khan
Speaks Out quotes by Chaka Khan
I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women. ~ Ruth Benedict
Speaks Out quotes by Ruth Benedict
Anytime you're the first to speak out against something, there's going to be a backlash. ~ Eli Roth
Speaks Out quotes by Eli Roth
I believe everyone here has a right to speak out on politics as effectively as possible. ~ Ted Cruz
Speaks Out quotes by Ted Cruz
People with virtue must speak out; People who speak are not all virtuous. ~ Confucius
Speaks Out quotes by Confucius
I feel a moral obligation to speak out at this key moment in human history - it is a moment for action. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio
Speaks Out quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
Hate can only exist where people refuse to speak out against it. ~ Yasmine Galenorn
Speaks Out quotes by Yasmine Galenorn
On popular issues like poverty and slavery, where Christians are likely to be applauded for our social action, we are quick to stand up and speak out. Yet on controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion, where Christians are likely to be criticized for our involvement, we are content to sit down and stay quiet. ~ David Platt
Speaks Out quotes by David Platt
So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his words. Just like you, my fine, handsome friend. ~ Homer
Speaks Out quotes by Homer
I am no theologian. I am a layman. I am among those who are preached to, and who listen. It is not for me to preach. I should not willingly forego being a listener, a man who reads the Gospels and then listens to what others say that our Lord meant. But sometimes a listener speaks out, and listens to his own voice. ~ Haniel Long
Speaks Out quotes by Haniel Long
Stand up, speak out, and be bold. Screw political correctness. Never let them tell you to sit down and shut up. ~ Sarah Palin
Speaks Out quotes by Sarah Palin
I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about. ~ Anne Heche
Speaks Out quotes by Anne Heche
I want to let my fans know that I will not hold myself back anymore. Everybody knows me as "15-Year-Old Little Jessica who was on 'American Idol' and who is this sweet, quiet girl." I am very soft-spoken, but I have gone through numerous experiences, and I want to speak out and tell people what has been going on in my life. ~ Jessica Sanchez
Speaks Out quotes by Jessica Sanchez
I don't see that there is a credible threat for American action - the rhetoric of the U.S. President is too vague, very amorphous. I don't see that Obama's words will be translated into more tangible intentions and therefore this is probably why the Iranians don't take it seriously. They speak out against it and they dismiss it. ~ Tzachi Hanegbi
Speaks Out quotes by Tzachi Hanegbi
If Hollywood stars speak out, so do all sorts of other people. Now Hollywood stars can get a better hearing. ~ Roger Ebert
Speaks Out quotes by Roger Ebert
I am hopeful that others who have suffered sexual harassment will not become discouraged by my experience, but instead will find the strength to speak out about this serious problem. ~ Anita Hill
Speaks Out quotes by Anita Hill
A man of few words is wiser than a man that speaks out his mind~ ~ Elena Toledo
Speaks Out quotes by Elena Toledo
There's such a stigma around girls' periods, and women's sexuality - girls can't speak out for themselves or be who they want to be. I think that coming from the social platform that I have, I try to be a positive influence, and this was something that I felt needed to be seen and heard. ~ Chloe Grace Moretz
Speaks Out quotes by Chloe Grace Moretz
Later the brothers had quarrelled, one of those family quarrels we all know with deeply entangled roots, impossible to cure because neither side speaks out clearly, each having much to hide. ~ Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
Speaks Out quotes by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
A theologian is a person who makes bold to speak about God because he speaks out of God and through God. To profess theology is to do holy work. It is a priestly ministration in the house of the Lord. It is itself a service of worship, a consecration of mind and heart to the honour of His name. ~ Herman Bavinck
Speaks Out quotes by Herman Bavinck
Winning means some kind of approval of the Establishment which means people will more readily accept me, may be less frightened of me and other people who speak out ~ Jane Fonda
Speaks Out quotes by Jane Fonda
It is difficult to get Latina and Asian women to speak out. We must make it clear it's not their problem, it's our problem. We need magazines like this one to keep talking about the issue. And know that we women in Congress are with you 100 percent. ~ Juanita Millender-McDonald
Speaks Out quotes by Juanita Millender-McDonald
All cats talk however they want. To whomever they want. But only a rude human speaks out of turn. Be quiet. ~ Robin Hobb
Speaks Out quotes by Robin Hobb
Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime. ~ Frank Serpico
Speaks Out quotes by Frank Serpico
I have to speak out for people around me who are afraid, who think it is not worth it or who have totally given up hope. So I want to set an example: you can do it and this is okay, to speak out. ~ Ai Weiwei
Speaks Out quotes by Ai Weiwei
I realize that I cannot stand by silently as my government executes its citizens. If I do not speak out and resist, I am an accomplice. ~ Helen Prejean
Speaks Out quotes by Helen Prejean
An effective leader is willing to think about what's happening and how to understand what's going on. Facilitating flow and making others more conscious of it, the leader communicates an awareness of process to the group, making them more aware of their energies and options. One important principle is to keep track of who has not spoken ... It's also important to notice when people do speak out but are not heard. Effective leaders practice patience, reminding themselves to wait and observe, remembering that there's always more going on in a group than we're consciously aware of. ~ Diane Dreher
Speaks Out quotes by Diane Dreher
Never speak out of anger, Never act out of fear, Never choose from impatience, But wait ... and peace will appear. ~ Guy Finley
Speaks Out quotes by Guy Finley
But I'm here to say that when we do speak out, we're going to do so because the United States of America does believe, and will always stand for, a certain set of universal values. ~ Barack Obama
Speaks Out quotes by Barack Obama
I am willing to spend whatever it takes ... My moral standard compels me to speak out on this issue because I am the largest company by far in the industry and I am willing to speak out. I don't see any compelling reason for the government to allow people to gamble on the Internet and nobody has ever explained except for the two companies whose special interest is going to be served if there is gaming on the Internet, Caesars and MGM. ~ Sheldon Adelson
Speaks Out quotes by Sheldon Adelson
If I were to envy any persons on this planet, it would be mountain hermits. You often hear old platitudes such as, 'Speak out. Be heard.' On the contrary, a breath of fresh air would be something like: 'Silence, think for at least 15 minutes, and then maybe speak out. ~ Criss Jami
Speaks Out quotes by Criss Jami
The key.. will be a new public awareness of how serious is the threat to the global environment. Those who have a vested interest in the status quo will probably continue to be able to stifle any meaningful change until enough citizens.. are willing to speak out. ~ Al Gore
Speaks Out quotes by Al Gore
Flattery does not encourage the perfect flow of love in the vein of your relationship. Be genuine and speak out what you feel for each other without hiding the painful truth. ~ Michael Bassey
Speaks Out quotes by Michael Bassey
Everyone's gotta have a voice, to be able to speak out. Left supresses right, right supresses left, and what's left and what's right? You know? It's America. You gotta be able to speak out. That's why people came here from all over the world: to have a fair shake. Not more than somebody else - the same. ~ Cyndi Lauper
Speaks Out quotes by Cyndi Lauper
All my writings may be considered tasks imposed from within, their source was a fateful compulsion. What I wrote were things that assailed me from within myself. I permitted the spirit that moved me to speak out. ~ Carl Jung
Speaks Out quotes by Carl Jung
I've always enjoyed mixing and mingling with the Tasmanian community and that's, if you like, the bread and butter of politics. And from my perspective, it's meant more time at home, which I also enjoy and it's also meant the greater interaction with the Tasmanian community. And it's also given me freedom to speak out. ~ Eric Abetz
Speaks Out quotes by Eric Abetz
We all like to hear a man speak out on his convictions and principles. But at the same time, you must understand that when you're running on a ticket, you're running with a team. ~ Richard J. Daley
Speaks Out quotes by Richard J. Daley
There are two kinds of genius. The first and highest may be said to speak out of the eternal to the present, and must compel its age to understand it; the second understands its age, and tells it what it wishes to be told. ~ James Russell Lowell
Speaks Out quotes by James Russell Lowell
It was a pity that people did not risk enough to speak out in behalf of one another's happiness and their own.
~ Louis Zukofsky
Speaks Out quotes by Louis Zukofsky
Life wanted faces that would express what we wanted to tell. Not just the unusual or striking face, but the face that would speak out the message from the printed page. I am always looking for some typical person or face that will tie the picture essay together in a human way. ~ Margaret Bourke-White
Speaks Out quotes by Margaret Bourke-White
I don't speak out because I am an actor nor will I keep silent because I am an actor. I respect my profession, but it endows me with no special privileges; but it also does not limit me or muzzle me. I am a person and a citizen with the attendant responsibilities of voice and vote. ~ Theodore Bikel
Speaks Out quotes by Theodore Bikel
Women tend to vote the economic interests of their families and to speak out on family economic issues. For men, there's often much more focus on the idea of personal failure: "If I'm not winning this great economic game, it must be my fault." ~ Elizabeth Warren
Speaks Out quotes by Elizabeth Warren
What the father kept silent the son speaks out. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaks Out quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist. ~ Martin Niemoller
Speaks Out quotes by Martin Niemoller
Su describes her anger as "a little femina, two centimeters tall" who claps inside her head every time she speaks out. "I'm dedicating my life to her, whatever the trends of the times. No more anger-sitters. No more camps or schools. No more lollipops. She's going to get all the advantages my expanse of years can provide, every opportunity to become whatever she wants to become, even if she wants to get married and have lots of little angers. ~ June Arnold
Speaks Out quotes by June Arnold
Spirit in its human manifestation is man's response to his You. Man speaks in many tongues - tongues of language, of art, of action - but the spirit is one; it is response to the You that appears from the mystery and addresses us from the mystery. Spirit is word. And even as verbal speech may first become word in the brain of man and then become sound in his throat, although both are merely refractions of the true event because in truth language does not reside in man but man stands in language and speaks out of it - so it is with all words, all spirit. Spirit is not in the I but between I and You. It is not like the blood that circulates in you but like the air in which you breathe. Man lives in the spirit when he is able to respond to his You. He is able to do that when he enters into this relation with his whole being. It is solely by virtue of his power to relate that man is able to live in the spirit. ~ Martin Buber
Speaks Out quotes by Martin Buber
You say, "Well, I am not going to be anyone's 'yes man.' If I see something wrong in a person, I'm going to warn others about it." Fine. But beware that what you are calling "courage to speak out" is not more truly a deception masking a rebellious, dishonouring attitude. ~ Francis Frangipane
Speaks Out quotes by Francis Frangipane
I believe one day a 'ban on gay marriage' will sound totally ridiculous. In the meantime, I will continue to speak out for equality for all of us. ~ Ellen DeGeneres
Speaks Out quotes by Ellen DeGeneres
Knowing what I do, there would be no future peace for me if I kept silent. ~ Rachel Carson
Speaks Out quotes by Rachel Carson
I'm not afraid to speak out, and say things that I want to do, or do the things that I want to do, so um, I think in the end, being natural, and being, being actually genuine is what wins. ~ Freddie Mercury
Speaks Out quotes by Freddie Mercury
The foolish wish to speak out what was spoken in secret by the master. ~ Chanakya
Speaks Out quotes by Chanakya
Loving this country requires more than singing its praises or avoiding uncomfortable truths. It requires the occasional disruption, the willingness to speak out for what's right, and shake up the status quo. ~ Barack Obama
Speaks Out quotes by Barack Obama
The majority of American writers today have chosen passive non-resistance to things as they are, producing sloughs of poetry about their personal angst and anomie, cascades of short stories and rivers of novels obsessed with the nuances of domestic relationships - suburban hanky-panky - chic boutique shopping mall literary soap opera. When they do speak out on matters of controversy they attack not the evils of our time but fellow writers who may insist on complaining. ~ Edward Abbey
Speaks Out quotes by Edward Abbey
It's very difficult for you to speak out against your child, someone that's in your family. You can have an argument with them, but you can't condemn them. You can't cast them out, because God has not done that to us. We cannot do that to anybody else. ~ Otis Moss III
Speaks Out quotes by Otis Moss III
I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed ... My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is in God's hands ... I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till he comes, give until I drop, speak out until all know, and work until he stops me. ~ Patrick Madrid
Speaks Out quotes by Patrick Madrid
I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I've been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don't get a chance to be heard. ~ Shakira
Speaks Out quotes by Shakira
Speak out your mind and your heart, you won't be bored. ~ Lights
Speaks Out quotes by Lights
I was raised to speak out about politics and the world around me. I would do it whether I was in the public or not. It is the way I was taught. The American way. ~ Judy Collins
Speaks Out quotes by Judy Collins
We must take the best from the left and the best from the right to devise new strategies for the global twenty-first century. The reluctance of liberal professors to speak out against rampant abuses committed on their side (e.g., suppression of free speech, the excesses of women's studies and French theory) has simply increased the power of the right. ~ Camille Paglia
Speaks Out quotes by Camille Paglia
Even at age 10, I already knew that I was different from most people. My anxiety disorder was still years from being diagnosed, but it affected me quite deeply. I was too afraid to speak out in class, too nervous to make real friends. ~ Jenny Lawson
Speaks Out quotes by Jenny Lawson
I've been extremely fortunate in that my career allows me to be seen and heard by people all over the world and I know that my only option is to utilize this gift to speak for those who may not have the means, courage, or strength to speak out. ~ Sufe Bradshaw
Speaks Out quotes by Sufe Bradshaw
Many people feel he did cross a line in a way he hadn't even done before and also that Republicans had to speak out because they believe Trump poses a danger to the party. ~ Mara Liasson
Speaks Out quotes by Mara Liasson
For the gay and lesbian community, even though I'm not gay I think its really important to speak out for people that aren't necessarily dealing with the same circumstances you're dealing with and don't have the benefit of the health care system or the government that you do. ~ Chelsea Handler
Speaks Out quotes by Chelsea Handler
It's not enough for women to speak out on the issue - for the message to be strong and consistent, women's voices must be backed up by men's. ~ John Conyers
Speaks Out quotes by John Conyers
If men are always more or less deceived on the subject of women, it is because that they forget that they and women do not speak altogether the same language, and that words have not the same weight or the same meaning for them, especially in questions of feeling. Whether from shyness or precaution or artifice, a woman never speaks out her whole thought, and moreover what she herself knows of it is but a part of what it really is. Complete frankness seems to be impossible to her, and complete self-knowledge seems to be forbidden her. If she is a sphinx to us, it is because she is a riddle of doubtful meaning even to herself. She has no need of perfidy, for she is mystery itself. A woman is something fugitive, irrational, indeterminable, illogical, and contradictory. A great deal of forbearance ought to be shown her, and a good deal of prudence exercised with regard to her, for she may bring about innumerable evils without knowing it, capable of all kinds of devotion, and of all kinds of treason, "monstre incompréhensible,' raised to the second power, she is at once the delight and the terror of men. ~ Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Speaks Out quotes by Henri-Frédéric Amiel
In the 'west' success is defined in purely material terms. He with the most money wins ... We should question, speak out and work for a better society with a whole different definition of what is deemed a successful artistic life. ~ Mark A. Brennan
Speaks Out quotes by Mark A. Brennan
Muslim women must stand up and speak out about who we are, what we believe and where we are going. I think we need to know that our counterparts in the west are also willing to listen and reciprocate. ~ Queen Rania Of Jordan
Speaks Out quotes by Queen Rania Of Jordan
We have to speak out now on behalf of our community and on behalf of the land and say they're the same thing and say No, we are not rolling over and No, this is not a corporate enterprise. This is democracy in the fullest sense and we must have regard and reverence and those are the cornerstones of a just society. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Speaks Out quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
We must know what we think and speak out, even at the risk of unpopularity. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Speaks Out quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
The question is not if the candidate's heart is favorable to Christianity, but if he has Christ as his starting point even for politics, and will speak out His name! ~ Abraham Kuyper
Speaks Out quotes by Abraham Kuyper
Failure is not the opposite to success, it's a stepping stone to success. If our primary goal is to be approved of, then we are not going to take risks, we are not going to speak out, we are going to try to blend in. ~ Arianna Huffington
Speaks Out quotes by Arianna Huffington
One good reason for the popularity of "reductionism" among the philosophical outposts of the Western Establishment is that it can be, and is, used as a device for trying to take the wind, so to speak, out of the sails of Marxism ... In essence reductionism is a kind of anti-Marxist caricature of Marxist determinism. It is what anti-Marxists pretend that Marxist determinism is. ~ Claud Cockburn
Speaks Out quotes by Claud Cockburn
My business in life has been to think and learn, and to speak out with absolute freedom what I have thought and learned. The freedom is itself a positive and never-failing enjoyment to me, after the bondage of my early life. ~ Harriet Martineau
Speaks Out quotes by Harriet Martineau
The government does not need to know more about what we are doing. We need to know more about what the government is doing. We should be thankful for individuals like Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald who see injustice being carried out by their own government and speak out, despite the risk. They have done a great service to the American people by exposing the truth about what our government is doing in secret. ~ Ron Paul
Speaks Out quotes by Ron Paul
If you don't speak out when it matters, when would it matter to speak out? ~ Jim Hightower
Speaks Out quotes by Jim Hightower
