• When I saw the sun bears at the Oakland Zoo, I immediately was drawn to them. Not to be ornery, but regarding what you said about the speaker identifying with the bear: I'm not sure it's exactly right to say that the speaker feels that the bear must share his sadness, or whatever else he is feeling. That would be classic pathetic fallacy, which is certainly generative for poetry, but here the speaker appears actually to be rejecting that idea.

• Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que todo aquel que crea en él será considerado, a partir de ese momento, weired por el resto del mundo, lo que significa que la iglesia debería parecerse más a un zoo que a una tumba de momias idénticas.

• I photograph in public and semi-public spaces that date from various epochs. These are spaces accessible to everyone. They are places where you can meet and communicate, where you can share or receive knowledge, where you can relax and recover. They are spas, hotels, waiting rooms, museums, libraries, universities, banks, churches and, as of a few years ago, zoos. All of the places have a purpose, as for the most part do the things within them.

• The only thing I like about St. Louis is it has the best zoo in America, in Forest Park. Washington University is next door to the zoo. Animals get out, they're going to eat white people before they get to the ghetto!

• I still haven't gotten over this thing of walking down the street and somebody recognizing you because you've been in a movie. There's this illusion that movie stars only exist in the movies. And to see one live is like seeing a leopard let out of the zoo.

• So I can go and let out everything that I feel about every bogus weekly cover, every single bogus skit, every single rumor and barber shop-everything that people feel is ok to treat celebrities like zoo animals, or act like what they're saying is not serious, or their lives are not serious or their dreams are not serious.

• Grandes y buenos hombres y mujeres mezclaban azúcar en su café sabiendo que había sido recogido por esclavos. Los amables y buenos antepasados de todos nosotros nunca cuestionaron los ahorcamientos, las quemas, las torturas, la desigualdad, el sufrimiento y la injusticia que hoy nos sublevan. Si nos atrevemos a presumir de condenarlos con nuestras fugaces ideas de moralidad, entonces nos arriesgamos a que nuestros descendientes nos condenen por lo que sea que estemos haciendo y que la historia futura juzgará intolerable y perverso: comer carne, conducir automóviles, salir en la televisión, visitar zoológicos, ¿quién sabe?
