giraffe quotes

Apeneck Sweeney spreads his knees Letting his arms hang down to laugh, The zebra stripes along his jaw Swelling to maculate giraffe.

-T(homas) S(tearns) Eliot
  'Sweeney among the Nightingales'.

   God is really onlyanother artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things.

- Pablo Ruiz y Picasso
