“Man is more ape than many of the apes”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, like an angry ape, play such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep”
William Shakespeare
“There is much difference between imitating a man and counterfeiting him”
Benjamin Franklin
“Let's get down to brass tacks. How much for the ape?”
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
“Apes are apes, though clothed in scarlet.”
Ben Jonson
“Television's perfect. You turn a few knobs, a few of those mechanical adjustments at which the higher apes are so proficient, and lean back and drain your mind of all thought. And there you are watching the bubbles in the primeval ooze. You don't have to concentrate. You don't have to react. You don't have to remember. You don't miss your brain because you don't need it. Your heart and liver and lungs continue to function normally. Apart from that, all is peace and quiet. You are in the man's nirvana. And if some poor nasty minded person comes along and says you look like a fly on a can of garbage, pay him no mind. He probably hasn't got the price of a television set.”
Raymond Chandler
“A trained ape could not teach gym”
Nancy Cartwright
