Mouse Quotes - page 7

Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room piled high with cases in my father's name Piled high, packed large, where, creeping in and out among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there at this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first. And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark. An hour before the sun would let me read My books. (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
If one day, a bhailach... ye should meet a verra large mouse named Michael-ye'll tell him your grandsire sends his regards. View quote
Diana Gabaldon
If you're a twofisted, spineless progressive (a mighty fashionable stance nowadays) Offissa Pupp, who forcefully asserts the will of socalled society, becomes a cosmic angel; while Ignatz Mouse, who forcefully defies society's socalled will by asserting his authentic own, becomes a demon of anarchy and a fiend of chaos. But if-whisper it-you're a 100% hidebound reactionary, the foot's in the other shoe. Ignatz Mouse then stands forth as a hero, pluckily struggling to keep the flag of free will flying; while Offissa Pupp assumes the monstrous mien of a Goliath, satanically bullying a tiny but indomitable David. Well, let's flip the coin-so: and lo! Offissa Pupp comes up. That makes Ignatz Mouse "tails." View quote

Frans de Waal
Two old Bachelors were living in one house; One caught a Muffin, the other caught a Mouse. View quote
Edward Lear
A sparrow can be as interesting as a bird of paradise, the behaviour of a mouse as interesting as that of a tiger. Our planet is beautifully intricate, brimming over with enigmas to be solved and riddles to be unravelled. View quote

Though Richard's Wikipedia entry had been quiet lately, in the past it had been turbulent with edit wars between mysterious people, known only by their IP addresses, who seemed to want to emphasize aspects of his life that now struck him as, while technically true, completely beside the point. Fortunately this had all happened after Dad had become too infirm to manipulate a mouse, but it didn't stop younger Forthrasts. View quote
Neal Stephenson

Johnny Marr

Even today no computer can understand language as well as a three-year-old or see as well as a mouse. View quote
Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
The past two decades revolutionized the way we access information. You and I can have our questions answered with the click of a mouse at any time of day. If America, both corporation and citizen alike, can use these services to solve problems, why can't Washington? View quote
J. C. Watts
But ne'ertheless reflect, the little mouse, how sage a brute it is! Who never trusts its safety to one hole : for when it finds one entrance is block'd up, it has secure some other outlet. View quote
Plautus
A couple of years ago, we went to Eurodisney. That too was bearable, although it was a bit weird when Mickey Mouse came to ask for an autograph. View quote
Robert Smith (musician)
A mountain in labour shouted so loud that everyone, summoned by the noise, ran up expecting that she would be delivered of a city bigger than Paris she brought forth a mouse. View quote
Jean de La Fontaine
Merry the green, the green hill shall be merry. Hungry, the owlet shall seek out the mouse And Jack his Joan, but they shall never marryAnd snow shall fly, the big flakes fat and furry. Lonely, the traveler shall seek out the house, And Jack his Joan, but they shall never marry.Weary the soldiers go, and come back weary, Up a green hill and down the withered hill, And Jack from Joan, but they shall never marry.

Bonapartist democrat. Grey shades of a quiet mouse colour. (Victor Hugo)
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants. View quote

What's evil for the hawk is the mouse because, you know, the mouse is quick and gets away but I did this one realization every scientist goes through at one point... if you gave the hawk power, the power of God, the first thing the hawk might do is to slow down the mouse. But then the hawk would lose it's speed. And then if you slow the mouse all the way down, so it can just barely move, the hawk would lose its flight. So that in a weird way the tension between those two say natural enemies is what gives birth to their beauty. So I definitely feel that the tension we have right now within the human community in particular - that those are ultimately going to be resolved with a deeper harmony and a deeper appreciation for one another.

Mountains will be in labour, and the birth will be an absurd little mouse. View quote
Horace
The nature of the personal computer is simply not fully understood by companies like Apple (or anyone else for that matter). Apple makes the arrogant assumption of thinking that it knows what you want and need. It, unfortunately, leaves the "why” out of the equation - as in "why would I want this?” The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a "mouse”. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. View quote
