Original Gorilla Body

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

    All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    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)

    Our own theological Church, as we know, has scorned and vilified the body till it has seemed almost a reproach and a shame to have one, yet at the same time has credited it with power to drag the soul to perdition.
    Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)
