Wildlife Quotes - page 3
I've often been asked what drives me, particularly through the last 50 years of abuse, and ridicule. What has kept me going is one word - care.

We fled the room as if, in our fumblings, we had uncapped some virus we still might escape if we ran fast enough. Had one of the counselors not caught me scaling the fence, I felt certain I could have made it back to Raleigh by morning, skittering across the surface of the ocean like one of those lizards often featured on television wildlife programs.
David Sedaris
