Original Gorilla Body

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

    “Mother” has always been a generic term synonymous with love, devotion, and sacrifice. There’s always been something mystical and reverent about them. They’re the Walter Cronkites of the human race . . . infallible, virtuous, without flaws and conceived without original sin, with no room for ambivalence.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    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)

    Each body is in its bunker. The surgeon applies his gum.
    Each body is fitted quickly into its ice-cream pack
    and then stitched up again for the long voyage
    back.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
