Цитаты Джеймс Хэрриот

„Кошки — ценители комфорта.“

— Джеймс Хэрриот

„Кошки — известные мастера хорошо устраиваться.“

— Джеймс Хэрриот

„If a farmer calls me to a sick animal, he couldn't care less if I were George Bernard Shaw.“

— James Herriot

„Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.“

— James Herriot
James Herriot's Cat Stories

„I love writing about my job because I loved it, and it was a particularly interesting one when I was a young man. It was like holidays with pay to me.“

— James Herriot

„Years ago, farmers were uneducated and eccentric and said funny things, and we ourselves were comparatively uneducated. We had no antibiotics, few drugs. A lot of time was spent pouring things down cows' throats. The whole thing added up to a lot of laughs. There's more science now, but not so many laughs.“

— James Herriot

„For years I used to bore my wife over lunch with stories about funny incidents. The words 'My book,' as in 'I'll put that in it one day,' became a sort of running joke. Eventually she said, 'Look, I don't want to offend you, but you've been saying that for 25 years. If you were going to write a book, you'd have done it. You're never going to do it now. Old vets of 50 don't write books.' So I purchased a lot of paper right then and started to write.“

— James Herriot

„There was no last animal I treated. When young farm lads started to help me over the gate into a field or a pigpen, to make sure the old fellow wouldn't fall, I started to consider retiring. The great moment was one day when I was stitching up a cow's teats--they often get cut, you know--and my glasses were sliding down my nose. Suddenly I thought, Wight, you're too old for this. But it was a gradual transition. I just did less and less. It must be terrible to have a job you very much love chopped off.“

— James Herriot

„And the peace which I always found in the silence and emptiness of the moors filled me utterly“

— James Herriot

„If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.“

— James Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small

„I seem to have spent a good part of my life - probably too much – in just standing and staring.“

— James Herriot

„A farmer once told me one of the greatest luxuries of his life was to wake up early only to go back to sleep again.“

— James Herriot

„That quotation about not having time to stand and stare has never applied to me. I seem to have spent a good part of my life - probably too much - in just standing and staring and I was at it again this morning.“

— James Herriot, It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet
