“O Mary, go and call the cattle home / And call the cattle home, / And call the cattle home,/ Across the sands of Dee.”
Charles Kingsley
“And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants: / But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.”
Bible
“What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns.”
Wilfred Owen
“sought to break [him] by zapping him with a cattle prod as a 'warning.' The electrical voltage of a cattle prod is intended for a large animal, not for a human being. The petitioner collapsed on the floor, lost control of his bladder, was unable to speak or to move. His body convulsed in unstoppable contractions, causing him to shiver and shake for hours on end. He suffered severe physical repercussions for months afterwards. To this day it is not known if permanent damage was done.”
Jonathan Pollard
“But if cattle and horses or lions had hands, or were able to draw with their hands and do the work that men can do, horses would draw the forms of the gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make their bodies such as they each had themselves.”
Xenophanes
“Free speech is not to be regulated like diseased cattle and impure butter. The audience that hissed yesterday may applaud today, even for the same performance.”
William Orville Douglas
“Actors are cattle.”
Alfred Hitchcock
