The mouse that always trusts to one poor hole
Can never be a mouse of any soul.

 
Alexander Pope
 

The human family has invaluable friends and irreplaceable allies in the plant and animal worlds. We cannot continue to tug at the web of life without tearing a hole in the very fabric of our earthly existence — and eventually falling through that hole ourselves.

 
Van Jones
 

The mouse that hath but one hole is quickly taken.

 
George Herbert
 

My last words? "Life is no way to treat an animal, not even a mouse."

 
Kurt Vonnegut
 

The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation. The hole connects one side to the other, making it immediately more three-dimensional. A hole can itself have as much shape-meaning as a solid mass. Sculpture in air is possible, where the stone contains only the hole, which is the intended and considered form. The mystery of the hole – the mysterious fascination of caves in hill sides and cliffs.

 
Henry Moore
