Quotes edit see section history

  • “A large, warm tear splashed down on his knee, and, miserable as he was, Mowgli felt happy that he was so miserable, if you can understand that upside-down sort of happiness.”
  • “"It was what they called in the Jungle the pheeal, a hideous kind of shriek that the jackalgives when he is hunting behind a tiger, or when there is a big killing afoot. If youcan imagine a mixture of hate, triumph, fear and despair, with a kind of leerrunning through it, you will get some kind of notion of the pheeal thatrose and sank and wavered and quavered far away across the Waingunga."”
  • “"And only when there is one great Fear over all, as there is now, can we of the Jungle lay aside our little fears, and meet together as we do now."”
    Hathi the Elephant
  • “"A brave heart and a courteous tongue, they shallcarry thee far through the Jungle, Manling."”
    Kaa the Python to Mowgli
  • “"It is the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is eaten up from nose to tail with curiosity."”
    from Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
