Original Gorilla Body

Famous quotes containing the words original, gorilla and/or body:

    The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself—who according to the Rabbins was also the first author—not being an original; the only original author being God.

    For a tired man who just found a gorilla in his bed, I think I’m behaving very well.
    —Ruth Rose. Ernest B. Schoedsack. Mr. Young (Regis Toomey)

    There are three kinds of despots. There is the despot who tyrannises over the body. There is the despot who tyrannises over the soul. There is the despot who tyrannises over the soul and body alike. The first is called the Prince. The second is called the Pope. The third is called the People.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
