the camel QUOTES

1 " Three metamorphoses of the spirit have I designated to you: how the
spirit became a camel, the camel a lion, and the lion at last a child. "

― Friedrich Nietzsche , Thus Spoke Zarathustra

2 " Yes, an actual full-sized camel. If you find that confusing, just think how the criosphinx must have felt.
Where did the camel come from, you ask? I may have mentioned Walt’s collection of amulets. Two of them summoned disgusting camels. I’d
met them before, so I was less than excited when a ton of dromedary flesh flew across my line of sight, plowed into the sphinx, and collapsed on top
of it. The sphinx growled in outrage as it tried to free itself. The camel grunted and farted.
“Hindenburg,” I said. Only one camel could possibly fart that badly. “Walt, why in the world—?”
“Sorry!” he yelled. “Wrong amulet!”
The technique worked, at any rate. The camel wasn’t much of a fighter, but it was quite heavy and clumsy. The criosphinx snarled and clawed
at the floor, trying unsuccessfully to push the camel off; but Hindenburg just splayed his legs, made alarmed honking sounds, and let loose gas.
I moved to Walt’s side and tried to get my bearings. "

― Rick Riordan , The Serpent's Shadow (The Kane Chronicles, #3)

3 " If you want to know what the camel stole from your kitchen yesterday, then you shouldn;t slit open its stomach. You should stare into its arsehole. "

― Jussi Adler-Olsen

4 " The horse does abominate the camel the mighty elephant is afraid of a mouse and they say that the lion which scorneth to turn his back upon the stoutest animal will tremble at the crowing of a cock. "

5 " If the camel once gets his nose in a tent his body will soon follow. "

6 " There is no logical reason why the camel of great art should pass through the needle of mob intelligence. "
