"You can plainly see that if a horse were to fall from a height of three or four feet it could break its bones, whereas a dog [or chicken] would not suffer injury. The same applies to a cat from a height of as much as eight or ten feet, to a grasshopper [or butterfly] from the top of a tower... Nature could not allow a horse to become as big as twenty horses nor a giant as big as ten men, unless she were to change the proportions of all its memebers, particularly the bones. Thus, the common assumption that great and small structures are equally tough is wrong."
-from Bertolt Brecht's Galileo, page 115.
