“The real point is this: We don't know where to go because we don't know what we are. Do you want to go back to living in a sewer-pipe? And eating other people's garbage? Because that's what rats do. But the fact is, we aren't rats anymore. We are something Dr. Schultz has made. Something new.”
Robert C. O'Brien“Still, it seemed to us that the main reason we were hated must be that we always lived by stealing. From the earliest times, rats lived around the edges of human cities and farms, stowed away on men's ships, gnawed holes in their floors and stole their food. Sometimes we were accused of biting human children; I didn't believe that, nor did any of us⎼unless it was some kind of a subnormal rat, bred in the worst of city slums. And that, of course, can happen to people, too.”
Robert C. O'Brien, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH“I don't like rats any more than the next bloke, but they ain't wicked and cruel like people can be. They're just ratty in their habits.”
Philip Pullman, I Was a Rat!“I will not join the rat race because I'm not a rat. And I will not blindly follow a specific faith because I'm not a bat. The only race I'll take part in is for humans being humane. It's called the human race, and sadly it's got the least participants.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem“I’ve never had a rat, never chased one. I chase my own tail and that’s enough. I must now make plans for the day I catch it.”
Chila Woychik, On Being a Rat and Other Observations“The rat isthe mous-tacheinthetrache.the wrong-doerinthesoer.”
J. Patrick Lewis, World Rat Day: Poems About Real Holidays You've Never Heard Of“A nonhuman animal had better have a good lawyer. In 1508, Bartholomé Chassenée earned fame and fortune for his eloquent representation of the rats of his French province. These rats had been charged with destroying the barley crop and also with ignoring the court order to appear and defend themselves. Bartholomé Chassenée argued successfully that the rats hadn't come because the court had failed to provide reasonable protection from the village cats along the route.”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves“But there was more to it than that. As the Amazing Maurice said, it was just a story about people and rats. And the difficult part of it was deciding who the people were, and who were the rats.”
Terry Pratchett, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents“Did you bring me a rat?""He has no time for rats, George.""No time for rats? That's just sad.”
Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian“There is the title of one book In Underground One Can Meet Only Rats. And I'd re-phrase, In Cosmos One Can Meet Only Mutants, besides, rats are mutants too there, in cosmos, therefore, I'd rather walk on the ground.”
