• [Mis] excursiones proporcionaron una oportunidad única para observar [el comportamiento de los gorilas] en su hábitat natural... Entonces, demasiado pronto, los bebés fueron reclamados para su viaje al zoo. ... [Por suerte, los bebés no sabían que nunca volverían a ver su hogar en la montaña...

• I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs, cats, lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!

• What right do we have to claim, as some might, that human beings are the only inhabitants of our planet blessed with an actual ability to be "aware"? The impression of a "conscious presence" is indeed very strong with me when I look at a dog or a cat or, especially, when an ape or monkey at the zoo looks at me. I do not ask that they are "self-aware" in any strong sense (though I would guess that an element of self-awareness can be present). All I ask is that they sometimes simply feel!

• I started thinking what could happen with my art and I realized that the biggest thing that could is that it winds up in a museum. It's like finding a rare animal and putting it in the zoo.

• Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.

• This really isn't a game we really should be proud of. This game is liking taking your kids to the zoo. You're supposed to take your kids to the zoo. You're a father. So a team like that, we're supposed to beat them like this.

• Una mañana soleada me llevaron en coche a Whipsnade. Cuando salimos no creía que Jesucristo fuera el hijo de Dios, y cuando llegamos al zoo sí. Sin embargo, no había pasado el viaje precisamente pensando. Ni en grandes emociones. "Emoción" es quizá la última palabra que podemos aplicar a algunos de los acontecimientos más importantes. Fue más bien como cuando un hombre, después de un largo sueño, todavía inmóvil en la cama, toma conciencia de que ya está despierto.

• Cuando tenía seis años, mis padres me llevaron a un mercado con un zoo de mascotas. Me subieron a un poni y, por alguna razón, echó a correr y tuvieron que perseguirlo. Me contaron que fue algo traumático.

• Escribir es mi trabajo principal y la enseñanza y la interpretación son actividades secundarias, una excusa para no escribir más. Trabajar en una novela y en una ópera me hace desear seriamente jubilarme y encontrar un trabajo voluntario como guía en el zoo explicando a los escolares adónde van las ranas en invierno.

• I always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up, and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business. You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.

• Betty took him for a walk in the zoo and he was amused by her evident belief in the curative power of animals. She seemed to think that it must steady him to look at a buffalo.

• My own first love was biology. I spent a great part of my adolescence in the Natural History museum in London (and I still go to the Botanic Garden almost every day, and to the Zoo every Monday). The sense of diversity of the wonder of innumerable forms of life has always thrilled me beyond anything else.

• Creo que te va a encontrar demasiado viejo... Sí, eso fue, en el momento en que lo dijo supe que era cierto, y la revelación no me causó ninguna sorpresa, fue como el eco de un choque sordo, no inesperado. La diferencia de edad era el último tabú, el límite final, tanto más fuerte cuanto que seguía siendo el último y había sustituido a todos los demás. En el mundo moderno se podía ser swinger, bi, trans, zoo en el sadomasoquismo, pero estaba prohibido ser viejo.

• It was a huge zoo, spread over numberless acres, big enough to require a train to explore it, though it seemed to get smaler as I grew older, train included. Now it's so small it fits in my head.

• We can put women on Prozac and they will think they are happy, even though they are not. Disturbed animals in the zoo are given Prozac too, which rather suggests that misery is a response to unbearable circumstances rather than constitutional.

• As an actor, to go and see those shows - great plays like 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' and Clifford Odets's 'Golden Boy' - it's so exhilarating. I'd personally love to perform the role of Jerry in Edward Albee's 'The Zoo Story.' He's a transient, lost soul, and an example of humanity at its rawest.

• Realmente, un joven ateo no puede guardar su fe con demasiado cuidado. Los peligros le acechan por todas partes. No debes hacer, ni siquiera intentar hacer, la voluntad del Padre a menos que estés preparado para "conocer la doctrina". Todos mis actos, deseos y pensamientos debían armonizarse con el Espíritu universal. Por primera vez me examiné a mí mismo con un propósito seriamente práctico. Y allí encontré lo que me horrorizaba; un zoológico de lujurias, un lecho de ambiciones, un vivero de temores, un harén de odios acariciados. Mi nombre era legión.

• It is not only visitors to the zoo who are fascinated but uneasy in the presence of chimpanzees; the same is true of scientists. The more they learn about these great apes, the deeper our identity crisis seems to become. The resemblance between humans and chimpanzees is not only external. If we look straight and deep into a chimpanzee’s eyes, an intelligent, self-assured personality looks back at us. If they are animals, what must we be?

• Of course I was drawn to the sun bears, they're fascinating. But so are tigers and lots of other animals at the zoo. Probably a big part of the reason I felt so connected to them was because of their name: SUN BEAR.
