More From Marianne Moore

Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him.

We breed dogs to be more social than the wolf. there is very interesting research that has been done with a wolf and a domestic dog. if you have a tamed wolf and you have him sit in front of the experimenter or stand in front of his master and his two dishes, one to the right, one to the left – so that the dog or wolf see the food put in the left hand dish but the owner points to the right – the domesticated will go where owner points, whereas the the wolf goes right where he saw the meat thing put. in other words, in a dog social cue from a master can override where he saw the being placed.

A young wolfhound must meet his first wolf someday, but if the wolf sees him as a puppy, if he acts the puppy, the wolf will surely kill him. the wolfhound must be a wolfhound in the wolf's eyes even more than in his own, if he is to survive.

Now this is the law of the jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; and the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. as the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the law runneth forward and back -- for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

I really do think that if for one week in the united states we saw the true face of war, we saw people's limbs sheared off, we saw kids blown apart, for one week, war would be eradicated. instead, what we see in the u.s. media is the video war game.

She [my mother] said, "you are fiercely protective of your inventions because you are your fans." she helped me understand my own feelings. when someone has pulled the wool over my eyes, i feel that they have pulled the wool over the eyes of millions of fans around the world. she helped me to forgive. you can't force people to have the same world consciousness and awareness as you do.

I'm in the saddle every day playing a screwball. and then somebody comes along and says, "how would you like to go to italy and spain and do an italian/spanish/german co-production with an italian director who's only directed one movie?" it wasn't like i was going there to be with federico fellini. but something was there, and i thought, well, i loved this story when it was told by akira kurosawa; maybe this is a good idea. that's an instinctive moment. a fistful of dollars was made.
