• The appeal of the cat lies in the very fact that she has formed no close bond with [man], that she has the uncompromising independence of a tiger or a leopard while she is hunting in his stables and barns: that she still remains mysterious and remote when she is rubbing herself gently against the legs of her mistress or purring contentedly in front of the fire.

• It is quite widely known that I like shoes. This is not something that defines me as either a woman or a politician, but it has come to define me in the eyes of the newspapers. I wore a pair of leopard-print kitten heels to a Conservative Party Conference a few years ago and the papers have continued to focus on my feet ever since.

• Yo diría que existen mil vínculos inquebrantables entre cada uno de nosotros y todo lo demás, y que nuestra dignidad y nuestras posibilidades son una sola. La estrella más lejana y el barro a nuestros pies son una familia; y no hay decencia ni sentido en honrar una cosa, o unas pocas, y luego cerrar la lista. El pino, el leopardo, el río Platte y nosotros mismos: estamos juntos en peligro, o estamos juntos en camino hacia un mundo sostenible, somos el destino de los demás.

• Marisa! Marisa!” The cry was torn from Lord Asriel, and with the snow leopard beside her, with a roaring in her ears, Lyra’s mother stood and found her footing and leapt with all her heart, to hurl herself against the angel and her daemon and her dying lover, and seize those beating wings, and bear them all down together into the abyss.

• Si cogiéramos la ciudad de Tokio, la pusiéramos patas arriba y la sacudiéramos, nos asombraríamos de los animales que caen: tejones, lobos, boas constrictoras, cocodrilos, avestruces, babuinos, capibaras, jabalíes, leopardos, manatíes, rumiantes, en cantidades incalculables. No me cabe duda de que las jirafas y los hipopótamos asilvestrados llevan generaciones viviendo en Tokio sin ver un alma.

• These magnificent species of Africa - elephants, rhino, lions, leopards, cheetah, the great apes (Africa has four of the world's five great apes) - this is a treasure for all humanity, and they are not for sale. They are not for trade. They need to be valued and preserved by humanity. We all need a global commitment to that.

• Twenty thousand thieves landed at Hastings. These founders of the House of Lords were greedy and ferocious dragoons, sons of greedy and ferocious pirates... Such, however, is the illusion of antiquity and wealth, that decent and dignified men now existing, boast their descent from these filthy thieves, who showed a far juster conviction of their own merits, by assuming for their types the swine, goat, jackal, leopard, wolf, and snake, which they severally resembled.

• Si estás en el Parque Nacional de Maasai Mara en Kenia, si estás en el Parque Nacional del Serengeti en Tanzania, no sales de tu vehículo y te vas a pasear entre leones y leopardos. Te quedas en tu Land Rover. Te quedas en tu furgoneta de safari y miras por las ventanillas o por la capota a esos animales. Sé por experiencia lo mal que puede salir eso si se violan esas directrices.

• Repentance was never yet produced in any man's heart apart from the grace of God. As soon may you expect the leopard to regret the blood with which its fangs are moistened,—as soon might you expect the lion of the wood to abjure his cruel tyranny over the feeble beasts of the plain, as expect the sinner to make any confession, or offer any repentance that shall be accepted of God, unless grace shall first renew the heart.

• I like suits. I mean, I always feel good in a suit; I’m more of a suit guy than a shirt-and-jeans-type guy, probably. You know, like, I love Brad Goresky’s style. And sometimes he’ll wear a pair of, like, leopard pants, and I’m like, I couldn’t pull that off, but I appreciate it from afar.

• But phony, Hemingway was not, and poseur he was not. He did not shoot lions and leopards because he was searching for the answer to life. He shot lions and leopards because he bloody well liked to hunt and shoot, and killing was the best punctuation mark at the end of the intricate and fascinating process of hunting.

• Los tiburones me asustan. Fui a Malibú hace un par de semanas. Un día hermoso y despejado, en un metro y medio de agua, iba a surfear, y había un enorme tiburón leopardo... Lo miré y pensé: "Vale, no me hará daño".

• I meditate for the last time on this mountain that is bare, though others all around are white with snow. Like the bare peak of the koan, this one is not different from myself. I know this mountain because I am this mountain, I can feel it breathing at this moment, as its grass tops stray against the snows. If the snow leopard should leap from the rock above and manifest itself before me - S-A-A-O! - then in that moment of pure fright, out of my wits, I might truly perceive it, and be free.

• I was a daughterless mother. I had nowhere to put the things a mother places on her daughter. The nail polish I used to paint our toenails hardened. Our favorite videos gathered dust. Her small apron was in a box in the attic. Her shoes - the sparkly ones, the leopard rain boots, the ballet slippers - stood in a corner.
