Original Gorilla Body

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

    Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)

    Bagehot did what so many thousand of young graduates before him had done,—he studied for the bar; and then, having prepared himself to practise law, followed another large body of young men in deciding to abandon it.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
