Mark Frost Quotes

The savage in man is never quite eradicated.

Every man has a wild animal in him.

Human Nature Baby, grab it and growl.

However much you feed a wolf, it always looks to the forest. We are all wolves of the dense forest of Eternity.

"Natural" man is always there, under the changeable historical man. We call him and he comes-a little sleepy, benumbed, without his lost form of instinctive hunter, but, after all, still alive. Natural man is first prehistoric man-the hunter.

The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept.

Man must be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild.

Even if they don't know it, everyone has the instinct to survive.

We're animals. We're born like every other mammal and we live our whole lives around disguised animal thoughts.

There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.

We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.

Our aggression is a deep instinct which survives in all kinds of manifestations in modern man.

We must realise that man's nature will remain the same so long as he remains man; that civilisation is but a slight coverlet beneath which the dominant beast sleeps lightly and ever ready to awake.

Everybody has a savage instinct.

That animal part of us, it's the most interesting part. It's everything that has to do with drives, with things we can't stop ourselves from doing, with all the spaces where we're unable to reason with ourselves. It has its dark side, but there's a luminous side, too, which is the fact that we're just another species of animal.

We ride through life on the beast within us. Beat the animal, but you can't make it think.

There's the caveman in us. The caveman in you says, "I want direct contact. I don't want a picture." The caveman in our body says once in a while, we have to go outside. We have to meet real people, talk to real people, and do real things.

I think there's something we all relate to about...wanting to get to our most primal self.

An animal on a leash is not tamed by the owner. The owner is extending himself through the leash to that part of his personality which is pure dog, that part of him which just wants to eat, sleep, bark, hump chairs, wet the floor in joy, and drink out of a toilet bowl.

Unconsciousness, spontaneity, instinct ... hold us to the earth and dictate the relatively good and useful.

I never act. I simply bring out the real animal that's in me.

We are all human, and our senses are quicker to prompt us than our reason. Every man gives off a scent, and that scent tells you how to act before your head does.

Without guilt / What is a man? An animal, isn't he? / A wolf forgiven at his meat, / A beetle innocent in his copulation.

Is man, indeed, a walrus at heart?

Left to himself, man is half beast and half devil.
