Quotation with: "earth"
"Alec Issignois said a camel was a horse
made by a committee.. but a camel is an animal created by
God to adapt to deserts made by treekilling human beings
The animal made by human commitee
had pickled pigs' feet .. the pigs now had no feet ..
frog's legs ...the frogs now had no legs
chicken's thighs... the chickens now had no thighs
lamb's ribs .. the lamb now had no ribs
turkey's breasts.. the turkey's chest was carved
sheep's eyes which watched the devourers
calf brains which contained Mad Cow
and God sent angels
to wipe all violence from the earth
from this day forth

About: Absurdity
"My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to give out and out, to man or woman, money, food, clothing, or anything else, if they are able-bodied and can work and earn what they need, when there is anything on earth for them to do. This is my principle and I try to act upon it. To pursue a contrary course would ruin any community in the world and make them idlers."

"The hardest part has been maintaining a small head – remaining down to earth. So many people try to make you more than you are. This business has changed a lot of good people and a lot of good families, and I don't want that to happen to me."

"The Tortoise and the Eagle
A tortoise, lazily basking in the sun, complained to the sea-birds of her hard fate, that no one would teach her to fly. An Eagle, hovering near, heard her lamentation and demanded what reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float her in the air. I will give you, she said, all the riches of the Red Sea. I will teach you to fly then, said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death: I have deserved my present fate; for what had I to do with wings and clouds, who can with difficulty move about on the earth?'
If men had all they wished, they would be often ruined."

"The Astronomer
An astronomer used to go out at night to observe the stars. One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well. While he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises, and cried loudly for help, a neighbor ran to the well, and learning what had happened said: Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?'."
