You will earn 3 beans for each correct matching, for a possible total of 30 beans.

Quotes
a. "Legs of one beast. Arms of another. Proportions all awry to a tortoise's eye. Torso too squat. Too little neck. Vastly too much leg. Hands like creatures unto themselves. Senses delicately balanced. And yet each sense dulled by mental acuity. Reason in place of a good nose. Logic instead of a tail. Faith instead of the certain knowledge of instinct. "
b. "So much of language is unspoken. So much of language is comprised of looks and gestures and sounds that are not words. People are ignorant of the vast complexity of their own communication."
c. "That'll do pig. That'll do."
d. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
e. “I understand what you're saying, and your comments are valuable, but I'm gonna ignore your advice.”
f. “It is good people who make good places.”
g. “It is the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is eaten up from nose to tail with curiosity. The motto of all the mongoose family is "Run and find out," and Rikki-tikki was a true mongoose.”
h. “There is nothing that cuts you down to size like coming to some strange and marvelous place where no one even stops to notice that you stare about you.”
i. “We're thinking too much about educating the mind, and forgetting about the heart and soul.”
j. “You have wings and courage and a brain. Do not annoy me by asking permission."
