View Quote A planet where apes evolved from men?
View Quote Ah, yes - the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning: as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation.
View Quote Doctor, would an ape make a human doll, that talks?
View Quote Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But your behavior studies are another matter. To suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Why, man is a nuisance. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.
View Quote Imagine me needing someone. Back on Earth I never did. Oh, there were women. Lots of women. Lots of love-making but no love. You see, that was the kind of world we'd made. So I left, because there was no one to hold me there.
View Quote It's a mad house! A mad house!
View Quote What evidence? There were no weapons in that cave.
View Quote [to George] The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise. Your breed made a desert of it, ages ago.
View Quote [to George] You are right, I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even himself.
View Quote [to humans] Have you forgotten your scripture, the thirteenth scroll? "And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him."
View Quote [to humans] You are a menace. A walking pestilence.
View Quote [to Lucius] In my world, when I left it, only kids your age wore beards.
